First attempt at a Baron

Jeff, I'm not one of the more experienced guys here of course, but it looks real nice.
I had to learn quick how to work the CA on the burl that I did as well.
Hopefully I can try one of the Barons real soon!

It look like you did a fine job. My only suggestion is one of personal taste, I personally don't care for that much swell, in my opinion these and the Jr. Gent/Statesman should only have a gentle curve. You are pretty close but just a touch to much. Fit and finish look very nice though. The more that you do these pens and look in other people albums you will see that some kits even look better with no curve at all, just a plain bushing to bushing cut. A perfect example is the Emperor and the Statesman, these in my opinion look much better bushing to bushing. Have fun making daw dust.

I like the way it looks Jeff, I do not think it is too large, but that is always a personal thing.

Looks pretty good from here! Bushing to bushing or bulbous, no matter how you do it, enjoy, and just do it! Do it the way that you think looks best![]

Sure hope my first attempt at a Baron turns out that good.[8D]

 

[Ron in Drums PA]

Lookin' Good!

 

[JimGo]

Yup, it looks great! Unlike Wayne, I like a little more of a swell in my Baron/Jr Gent's. But, like Wayne said, it's a personal taste issue.

Nice finish.. nice pen.

Looks like a good job to me. The first Jr. Gents I turned was a real chubby little bugger, but I liked it and still use it.

Jeff, I like it just the way it is. Fine job! I don't particularly care for B2B Barons and Gents, but that's just my taste. As you can see, it's simply a matter of preference. I aosl don't care for bulbous Barons and Gents either. I think yours is just right. [^]
