Brokers

[Jim in Oakville]

Hi All,

These are my first ever Broker pens (From Craft Supply).

They are redwood burl, thya burl, and a ble and red box elder burl.

A nice option on a Cross styled pen, I like the size, a nice fit and the hardware is well made, these are rhodium.

I used a CA finish on all of them, I like a less than gloss look on them, but I like the durability of the finish.

Comments are welcome

Beautiful pens , I'm going to order a few of those kits for myself now .

Really good pens, you've done a great job with them. I like the Broker too, it's a very nice kit, long slim barrel with nice hardware and good weight.

Thanks Chris and Bill,

My wife just plucked two of them already for teachers gift pens...it's that time of year again!!

Those look great. Excellent work as always.

Wow. Those are nicely done. I'll have to get some of those kits to try.

Beautiful pens Jim, like some of the others I've never tried them either. <s>Do they use a Parker refill</s>? Oops, I re-read your description and see they use a Cross refill. Very nice pens Jim.

Does the clip rub on the barrel when the pen is opened, and if so does it leave a mark? It'd be a shame to mar that beautiful finish on such excellent wood.

The clip is in contact with the pen body, I twisted each one a few times and I did not see a mark, I am not sure, but I think in time it may leave a scratch mark, others who have made them could comment I hope...

They're all quite nice and sleek.
