A pair of green ones

[armyturner]

Here is a pair that I finished this morning. First is a Black Ti Jr Gent with green dyed maple burl. I was a little disappointed in the blank. It was nice and figured/curly, but I expected more burl for the price of the blank. Am I expecting too much, or is this the norm for dyed/stabilized maple burl?

Next is a Rhodium Jr Gent with green w/black swirl acrylic.

Can't answer your questions since I don't use the dyed blanks, but these pens are nice! The finish is as shiny as the hardware. Good job.

Hi Jeremy,

Nice Work on the pens, they look great, I like mine slimmer, just me[8D]

The maple burls are generally just like yours, I turned 20 this week and they all look like that pretty much. If you want a burl in a maple use box elder burls, they have a lot more character.

Great job!! Nice fit and finish. By the way I like your green dyed maple burl.

Great pens.

Nice finish, but count me among those who don't really care for pregnant pens.

Good work on the pens, I agree with the rest as to the shape. I don't know what more you could ask for in the maple burl though.

I really like the shape, fit, and finish on those pens. The green's a really nice shade too - great job!

Beautiful finish!!! It's so shiny and glossy that the wood one looks as shiny as the plastic.

Beatilful pens. Outstanding finish specially on the wood one. It really shines and ahave a depth like not many can claim. Awesome.
Was that CA finish?

 

[armyturner]

Thanks for the comments. The finish is CA, 4 heavy coats of thick CA.

Great looking pens, I'd copy what Jim said.
