Kind a jumps out at you, eh?

Imperial pen kit. Gold dyed BEB from BB (Az Sil.) His is best. The yellow dyed from WTC is too yellow.

CA hi-gloss finish.

And it can be see from low earth orbit.
 
Those are beauties! I think that's (at least one of, if not the) first Churchill I've seen that made me go "huh, maybe that isn't such a bad kit after all"! And the laser engraving on the Sierra is REALLY cool! Nice job!
 
Got to do one of those Limited Edition jobs for a guy in California. Did four barrel sets for it, and let him pick the set he wanted.

Really they're just an Emperor, with an admittedly cool, high priced nib and a laser engraved serial number.
 
And beauties they are Kaspar! Quite impressive.

<br />JimGo, what don't you like about the Churchill?

Yeah, it's a twitchy kit to pick a blank for but not impossible.

Oh, he's just kinda finicky and set in his ways, but he'll come around.[;)]
 
Hi Kaspar,


Haven't thought much about man made blanks, but seeing some of the ones here......well it makes me want to try.


Really nice work. The depth of colour and the finish on your pens is fantastic!


Particularly like your last submit.


Bit of a purist at heart, and my first love will always be wood.


That said........never say never!
 
Dang, Kaspar, what a way to introduce your work!! Anyone would be proud to own each one of those pens. Great work, outstanding photography. I look forward to your next work.
 
Please tell me you are new to the group, not new to pen turning. If you are a new turner making pens like this I think I'll just quit now because I am obviously out of my league.
 
It isn't often a poster brags on his own work in the title. But, as they say, if you can do it, it ain't braggin'. Very beautiful work. The yellow Imp. is a bit gaudy for my tastes, but that's an individual thing. Is that an inlay or engraving?

That's not an inlay. It's an engraving. I worked up the piccie, but Ken at Kallenshaan Woods did the work. I do hope to get my own Epilog Laser engraver with rotary tool at some point. The ideas I have for that will be .... very interesting.

A few people in professional fields tell me those are the most professional looking pens I do.
 
Beautiful pens, Kaspar! The red celluloid looks stunning, rather as though it should be used on stage. Very eye-catching and beautifully done!

cheers Eileen

I felt that way at first too. But Hut's White Micapearl changed my mind on that. People went gaa-gaa over them. Like something an angel would write with.

The one thing I still have a prejudice against is the color dyed woods. That gold dyed BEB is the one exception.

You should have seen the variegated chatoyancy on that one when you moved it around. But it was sold even before I'd made it.

Speaking of chatoyancy, (fr. chat = cat, yeux = eyes, or Cat's-eye-ness). I tried to do an animated gif with curly Bubinga that shows it, but it never came off like I meant. Still it's pretty cool.

Did you use photo shop on those pics? Now that I look close I can see the glare spot in the center has some sun burst patters flowing outward. [;)]

Great looking pens! [:)]
 
That pen was less recent than the others. I was getting a little crazy with the photo processing effects until some people told me it was getting in the way of the pens, which of course defeated the purpose. So I stopped. You won't see such effects in the more recent ones.
