A Nouveau Sceptre

[Whaler]

This is a Rhodium/Gold kit from PSI done in Honduran Rosewood Burl. Sanded through 12000, 6 coats of blo/ca and a coat of REN wax.
Thanks for looking and all comments are welcome.

I don't think I'll ever be fully sold on that kit, but you did a great job with it. The figure in that blank is stunning.

The Sceptre isn't my cup of tea but your work looks terrific. Awesome piece of wood, well turned.

I, personally, love the look of the Nouveau Sceptre. Some day, I hope to be able to afford to buy one.

You did a beautiful job on it.

Beautiful job, Dick! One thought on your execution. For my taste, a "bling" kit like that asks for a more plain blank. Otherwise the wood and the kit compete for attention.

As for the kit, it's a pretty pen, but poor functionality. The fact that the pen is widest at the cap and extremely heavily weighted on the cap end makes it uncomfortable to write with. In my (never) humble opinion.

I'm not a big fan of those kits, but I think you did a very nice job with it. Nice blank and good craftsmanship on your end. Good job!

I like it but it is clumsy to write with if the cap is posted.

Great job on a awesome blank!

I definitely agree that you did a great job with the kit, Dick. I have looked at it several times but just cannot decide if I want to try it or not.

All that aside, you made an excellent pen.
