Couple of new Snakes and a Texas Flag pen

[Kaspar]

Atlas kits, I tried to match the blanks to the finish types.

very nice snakes,where do you get your blanks?

 

[Dario]

Yep, very nice snakes and (as always) well done too.

I am just not too crazy about the kit, ofcourse that is only my personal preference.

They come from Arizona Silhouette. One poster has told me that he too finds those very brittle and tricky to turn, but the quality of the skins in undeniable.

Got some more piccies I'll be posting in a while.

That kit does well among my coworkers. I have a couple I use myself.

Ok...I'll bite....~ahem~..what's that pen made of?

 

[Kaspar]

Various dyed curly maples. The star is cut out by a laser engraver. You can get the inaly kits from here.

 

[alamocdc]

Dumb question, Kaspar. Why is the star upside down?

 

[Kaspar]

Ah, I knew someone would spot the flaw, but I thought it might be a Texan.

I was worried about correct star positioning, and I checked it five times, yet somehow still messed it up. There's only one way that star can go in, so where I messed up was in mounting the blue turned portion of the upper barrel to the red and white blocks. Single point with the white field, double points with the red is the rule there.

I'm going to have to make another one for this customer.

It was spotted by a Texan [].

 

[alamocdc]

Dario's right, Kaspar. It was spotted by a Texan. A displaced Texan, but a Texan nonetheless.

Southern by birth,
Texan by the grace of God![][]

your pens look great Kaspar when I seen your flag pen I was thinking wow this guy is really good! then you gave me a web link to Kallenshaan I was suprised to see the blanks are already designed and cut [][][]

 

[Kaspar]

Well, if I ever get my own laser engraver you'll see some original work. But there are a lot of Texans, and they really like that pen. I'm even giving some thought to doing a bit of hand carving. Maybe do a prototype of that Chi-Rho pen I am longing to do.
