Dark Turquoise Kitless

[Twissy]

Decided to have another day of "me time" again today! This is the result! I adore this colour. In hindsight, it may be a little transparent to do a flush cap, but I do like flush fitting caps. I'm really pleased with the way the finial came out.
C&C's welcome.

Love what you did with the top of the cap.

I really like the cap finial. It's on my to-do list as well after looking at some Sailors with that sort of style. It's a little different, but similar.

Nice pen. Good job all around.

That is a beautiful pen in every aspect. Well done!

Even with the transparancy I really like the flush cap. The cap finial is a nice touch as well! #5 or #6 nib?

John, that's another beauty! I'm guessing lucite. It's just gorgeous! Everything about it.

Gorgeous, I like the transparency.

 

[watch_art]

That's REALLY nice. Job very well done.

That's it....... I've got to make some of those two tone finials, really sharp looking!

I think I would have made the black part of the finial a bit taller, say 6.4mm, but that's just my taste.

 

[Twissy]

Thank you all very much!!!

Jonathan, it's a Bock #6

Robert, it's an Acrylic from The Turners Workshop here in the UK.

George, I agree with the taller finial. I was really conscious of the length of the cap, and was sorely tempted to take some off the cap to make a taller finial, but knew in the back of my mind that I would probably screw it up!!! On the next one!

Very nice, the threaded section of the cap looks thin, must have been difficult to thread. Superb job.

 

[joefyffe]

Stunning!

 

[Dustygoose]

That is super thin on the cap. You did a great job on this one. Love the finial

I think this is pen, John, that really benefits from having the section the same material as the pen. Everything flows. I love the swirls in the section itself.
