Now that's truly a piece of art right there! What is that red material? Very nice workmanship captured nicely by top notch photography.

[ghostrider]

I just realized that this forum won't let me "Like" someone's post twice.

 

[Ted iin Michigan]

Wow (great photography, too)

 

[thewishman]

Beautiful pen! My favorite part is your treatment of the center - the threading on the body with the silver ring make it look especially nice! NPGJ

 

[Jjartwood]

I can't think of a word to say,I can't imagine anything that nice being made without some
sort of mechanical assistance, To do that with little more than God given talent and
creative motivation is amazing.
OK! enough of the "hug a penmaker" segment it does put me in the mind of a nutcracker soldier,love the guitar pick accents and center ring,the combination of color and cut is stellar.
Beautiful pen for the upcoming season, planned or not it does have the Holidays all over it.

This is just slick on so many levels and the cherry on the top is that you didn't use some purchased kit for it! It speaks volumes to your ability and growth as a designer of fine pens. Love where you took this one!!!

 

[lorbay]

That is sweet Robert.

[RichF]

You hit a homerun with that one. Really nice design. Flawless execution.

 

[OKLAHOMAN]

Who said all custom/kitless pens look alike? Love the rounded stainless accent and the threaded final for posting.

 

[WHSKYrvr1]

Didn't I see you name by mine in the PITH pairing? What a wonderful pen design. I have truck that I call Big Red and it is almost the same color. Well Done!

 

[Old Lar]

That is one fine pen...great job!

 

[cnirenberg]

Robert,
I love this one, It os possibly my favorite of all your pens. The color is terrific coupled with the finial accents and sterling banding. Hot, Hot, Hot...

 

[LL Woodworks]

WOW! Robert - this could easily be my favorite pen posted on this forum.

 

[Mike D]

That is one beautiful pen. I love the contrast of colors and the absolute perfection in the joining of the materials to form a stunning piece of art!

 

[wizard]

Beautiful!!!

WOW! Robert - this could easily be my favorite pen posted on this forum.

++++1. Robert, that is BEAUTIFUL!!! Your attention to detail is striking..in design; choice of materials, colors and accents; preciseness and fit of the various components...and to top it off..a finish that high end pen companies would be envious of ..and pictures, which like the pen itself, STUNNING!!
You truly are an inspiration to me to push further and away from my usual custom creations. Well done!! Regards, Doc

 

[dgscott]

Looks perfect to me.

 

[Dustygoose]

Wow. Don't know what else to say

wow. the bands really are impressive. I was having trouble visualizing the effect when you were talking about it yesterday. Very nice. Paul

 

[RichB]

WOW that is AMAZING.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tortoise]

Stunning. I am absolutely in awe of your artistry.

 

[randyrls]

OHHHHH! Shiny!

 

[Texatdurango]

This pen will go a long way to dispel the notion that all kitless pens are just plane-jane pieces of plastic that all look alike! Great job.

 

[Dalecamino]

Well there you go Robert. That's what I'm talking about. A Grand Slam. Thank you! Kind of leaves the rest of us in the dust.:biggrin:

 

[maxman400]

Amazing work, congrats on a beautiful PEN,

 

[Ed McDonnell]

There is an awful lot to like about this pen, but what really stands out for me is the design and execution of the cap. My eye is immediately drawn to the perfectly proportioned flare out with the subtle but highly effective detail bands. The simple red dot on the top of the cap is a perfect complement to the overall simple but sophisticated look of the pen. This is an area where you could have definitely gone "over the top" with a much more complicated embeliishiment. But I think that would have been a distraction from what is a beautiful overall design. Truly an inspiration.
