Another Metal Braided Pen

[jttheclockman]

Yes another one in my series of metal braided pens. This one is a red copper weave along with black nylon weaving. It makes for a sharp looking effect which is appreciated more in person but here it is anyway. It was cast in clear poly resin and polished. Thanks for looking and as always any comments or questions are always welcomed.

John, That looks beautiful !! I think I noticed that one with your awesome pen stand. Makes me want to learn how to cast and try different methods of taking pictures. Your work is inspiring. Thanks for showing! Doc

That pen is just awesome! Is that on a WallStreet II or a III?

I think all this series is really sharp, John. This one is really striking. The red adds a punch that I really like.

It actually is a Sierra Vista. I was not sure when I did this how much room I needed because of the material at the ends. Can you get away with a standard Sierra, I think so. Have not tried it. I do it with the other braiding materials so I do not see why not. May have to try one in the future.

Although I'm not down with the kit choice..the blank looks very cool! You are very accomplished with working those braids...perhaps you were a hair dresser in another life. :tongue::biggrin:

As always, your pens are unbelievable. Wowowowow.

I saw some of your earlier pens and got inspired, and I tried my hand at casting the mesh, but I could never get it to wrap tightly around the tubes. Tried about 10 times and then gave up.

Seeing yours makes me want to try again.

What size mesh do you cast with?

I am going to stop looking at John's post. I just get greener eyed all the time. Great job John. Charles

The materials I use are expandable braiding so one size fits about all our pen tubes. They are also a sleeving so there is no seams. This particular one is about 1/2"
