Blue White Stripe Custom

[propencity]

Just finished it this morning. On this one, I wanted to make the pen a bit shorter than the previous ones. The finished pen measured at 5 1/4" in length (capped), 6 1/8" posted, and just less than 5/8" center diameter, weighing at 21 grams. I was able to do this by shortening the section and adding length to the hidden tenon. Both finials have threads to connect to the body. The top finial is inlaid with the blue acrylic of the body. I debated whether to add an metal band on the cap but will save that for the next one. Thanks for looking.

Gorgeous. I think the decision to leave the metal band out of the cap was a good one.

Beautiful, if for no other reason than I love that shade of blue. But you've done an excellent job on the pen as well!

Nice clean lines, and excellent blank choice! Great looking pen. I can almost see myself writing with that one..... ;-)

Looks great Mark! I love the shape and overall design. The inlay in the cap finial is a very nice touch.

On the lower finial, am I seeing a dimple from a live center?
