Finished this one up this afternoon. My client owns a mortgage brokerage, and green and white are his company colors.

Looks great! Green, white, and mortgage made me think that the shredded money blank would have worked well.

Shredded money would be the next one.

That may depend on which way the market and interest rates go.

Beautiful finished pen, I really appreciate the finial - a short, but fun learning curve and adds a lot. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Thanks Mark - I've got kind of a system down for them - this one was trickier as I had a heck of a time getting some super fine scratches out of it. I ended up carefully holding it and using my buffer. It's a miracle it didn't end up shooting across the garage.

LOL, been there on the floor... Great finial though.

If you are working on the final and shape may I suggest less of a cap top like that and do a more subtle curve. Again just my thoughts and if you said you settled. Never settle . keep an open mind.

I've thought about that. To my eye, the little thicker design works with the hardware as none of it is really subtle - and it allows it to show off a little more of the blank design. I've been working on some kitless designs that will probably end up a bit more of a subtle curve.

I see what you are saying and everyone has their own eye and what works. You did a nice job with a very nice blank.

Thanks! I'm hoping it's new owner will be really happy with it.
