Adapted Roman Harvest - Star Wars?

[MartinPens]

I think the cap reminds me of a Star Wars character.... the bounty hunter robot guy.

Anyhow - I should have left well enough alone on this one - but I had to keep messing with it. I need to learn to try wild-hair ideas on pieces of wood that aren't spectacular. I was trying to go for a kind of Prince's crown type look of some sort. It turned out kind of weird and doesn't really work all that well for me. Oh well.

Masur Birch. Roman Harvest parts. It's actually a double closed-end pen, but I put the silver ring up by the hidden clip - then realized it looked just like I lopped the top off and stuck a clip on. Live and learn.

Now that's an awesome looking pen there!

Oh, I see the character. It's Obe -Wood-Kenobe.:biggrin:

But seriously, that is a nice pen. I have some masur birch that needs to be turned. Nothing like seeing someone else's work to get inspired.

I really like that pen.

Martin, I love the look of this pen! Very creative! By the way...LOL...do you have a Masur birch tree in your backyard. The wood is beautiful! Regards, Doc

Looks great from here. The cap DOES share a profile with Boba Fett's helmet, but it's very subtle.

+1 on the pen, -1 on the looking like a star wars character

Not sure what you mean??

IG-88 is the droid bounty hunter in Star Wars.

Boba Fett is just a human who wears Mandalorian armor. (The one who took Han Solo to Jabba The Hut).

I think your pen looks much better than either.

The bounty hunter helmet was the image in my head. I didn't see any likeness to the assasin drioid. Thanks for the compliments folks.

My nerd radar went off when I logged in and now I know why. :biggrin: Just wondering how many of you live in your parents basement? The clip looks really good with that wood. you're right the ring on the back doesn't quite.... It does look like the bounty hunters helmet. Cool pen.

I'm sorry it doesn't work well for you, 'cuz it sure works for me. I think it looks great. Perhaps a little unusual, but that's what we're here for.

"You don't need to see their papers. These aren't the droids your looking for...."

BOT:

The more I look at it, I do start to see a slight resemblance.

I don't need to see your papers. These aren't the droids I'm looking for.

Sorry, couldn't resist! : )
