Commissioned by Evelyn

[Band Saw Box]

Evelyn commissioned a pen for someone she know that's going through a hard time, she has seen some of the pen's I've made and other day Evelyn gave her one of my cards. She saw the fountain pen and commented that she love fountain pen. Evelyn picked out the blank at Woodcraft and I paired it with a gold baron II from tinberbits. I added a matching finial that is a bit bigger then I normally make, I think it gives it a special touch since she likes Jewell colors. I backed painted the blanks sliver. I sanded to 12000 mm and polished with hut plastic polish. All C&C are welcome.

Thanks Steven for the kind words. I though about using a sliver kit but the gold looked so much better.

Great combination. Nice job.

Actually Dan, I kinda like the extended finial. It shows off the gold in the clip/finial very nicely. I may have to copy that idea.

The colors of the kit and blank are great!

I also vote YES for the finial - It LOOKS GREAT!

The larger size looks good and fits to the rest of the pen.

Great job!

Thanks so much Gordon for that awesome comment, I need to tell you that I just submitted the patten paper work so you have to pay for the right to copy the idea, I may charge you as much as 1 cent for every 100,000 you make. :biggrin:

Thanks Mark James for you wonderful comment. I'm so glad the finial is such a big hit. Please see the comment above :biggrin:

Wow thanks for all the new comments. I was surprised to see post on a thread I did last summer. Evelyn gave the pen to the wife of one of her client's and she loved it.
