After receiving constructive feedback on my first customized slimline coupled with the need to fix a crack near the nib, I knocked it apart and reworked it. Using what I learned I made a second one and feel pretty good about the custom finial and my technique for eliminating the center band.
Fantastic upgrades !! Nice bands and finals. This also allows you to change the shape and. size of the Slimline. Next thing is to move away from your dark background when taking your photos. You are not getting enough of the detail and contrast of your pen that you could be getting with a lighter background. Jim S
Outstanding Cody, they are amongst the best Slimlines I have seen.
Love your Centre Band and Finial treatment.
I agree with Jim, about changing the Dark Background.
Fantastic,
Brian.
