I took some styling cues from Chuck (http://www.penturners.org/forum/f13/vintage-style-fp-91687/) for this this pen. I always loved how the black cap looked on Chuck's pen and with the cap the same as the pen I thought it was just a little too much orange so I made a black cap. What do you guys think?
So after I made the cap for the pen above I had a half of a black blank lying on the bench next to the Franklin blanks I was about to start turning. I thought they looked pretty good together, so I paired the top barrel of the franklin with a black lower barrel and some gold compenents and I'm pretty pleased with the result. I love how detailed Bruce makes these. Just take a look at the close up to see what I mean.
This is an Appletini blank from exotics paired with gunmetal Euro components.
No grey area here. I actually caught the opalescents fairly decent in the pictures too!
And lastly I have the same blank that Hans made his kitless clicker from looking far less appealing.
As always comments and critism not only welcome but encouraged. Thanks for looking.
