A Zen gift

[PenWorks]

I made this Zen Parker ball pen in Snakewood & Black Ti for my brother's B-Day tomorrow. He can appreciate the sankewood as several of his PSR guitars have snakewood necks.

So as long as I was in the gift making mood, I made myself a Stretch FP in snakewood sporting a Dani Trio 18K gold nib I had lying around. The front section of a Jr.Gents will thread into the rollerball coupler. After seeing Chuckie's FP pen he made the other day, he got me thinking....again.

Thanks for looking, comments nay or yea always welcome

I think I like it Overall, it looks nice, but I can't quite decide about the snakewood "extension" on the cap. It kinda' makes the original (metal) portion of the cap look like a high collar...

In any case, I always enjoy seeing your work. Thanks for sharing.

Nicely done Anthony. I believe I like the wood extension better than the metal use in my version. That end cap comes right off dosen't it? [}][}] Although these are made to accept posting the cap I am going to hold mine while in use.

Fantastic work Anthony, I don`t like the wooden extension, sorry!

The fit, finish and blank look great. Unfortunately, the kit and the modification leave me cold.

That's beautiful Snakewood!! They look great, however, I'm not real sure about that cap extention either.

Here is a better perspective of the pen size. It is actually a mini size FP. The pen body is from a Jr Gent tube, just large enough to write with without posting, was a touch top heavy when posted. This has given me some ideas to the next one. Thanks for the comments.

Those look beautiful. I like the wooden extension when the pen is closed but not when the cap is posted.

Maybe I'm a black sheep. I like all of them![^]
