This pen was a commission. I waited to post pics until the customer received it. The blank is a Diamond Cast Macaw, which makes a beautiful pen, IMO.

I will definitely turn more of the Diamond Cast blanks.

Very Cool. Gorgeous Pen. I really need to take the time to learn how to make kit-less pens like this. I also concur, Tim McKenzie's DiamondCast blanks make wonderful pens.

Makes me happy to see a clip on a kitless pen.

I know. Even if we never really 'clip' them in pockets anymore, it just seems weird to me to not see them there.

I was going to post pics of it, but Dan's are so much better than mine.

He did a wonderful job, and I'm quite pleased with the result.

Thanks again, Dan!

That is beautiful. I've not worked with the diamondcast before, but they obviously come out nicely. I agree that a pen just looks odd to me without a clip, though there are some pretty cool rollstops I've seen done.

So this is a bes.... wait, I better not stir the pot.
