Abalone Ballpoint

[Buzzzz4]

I had to show that I do turn every once in a while. I whipped this one out today. One of Ken's Abalone shell barrels on a Sierra. I had to leave it just proud of the components at the nib end due to running into shell when turning. I dealt with it with a CA finish and buffing it a bit round. This made it not noticeable to the fingers when running your finger over the junction of the barrel to the component. I do wish now that I had chosen a WSIII for this blank. Comments are always appreciated.

Thanks!

Eric,
That is a beautiful pen. I think I would like to try to turn one. Who did you say had these blanks?

Thank you. That orange helmet houses these cool blanks. Get out the pocket book as they are a bit pricey. They do turn around a great sale and are a wonderful eye catcher.

Eric,

Very nice, but I do believe that is one of Roger Malin's blanks.

Jason, good eye you are correct, both Roger and Ken are partners of mine and that perticular blank was one of Rogers.

Very nice Eric!

Thanks for the catch. I didn't know there was another creator of these blanks.
