First Closed End Pen

[karlkuehn]

This is a Sedona that I've had sitting around for a while, pulled it off of a pen that I didn't like too well. Decided to give the whole closed end thing a try. Not sure if I like them yet, it was more of a pain than I thought it would be. Interesting, though.

Wood is dyed box elder.

Great looking pen!! I was a nervous wreck on my fiest closed end. Yours turned out beautifully!!

 

[stevers]

Very nice Karl. I may have to steel your design, I like the tail end of that one. Nice finish too.

Nicely done, Carl. Hope my first closed end will be half as good.

The fit and finish both look good, but the shape doesn't appeal to me. The bulge near the CB is fine, but the knob on the end is what bothers me. BUT, that's only my opinion and others will not agree.

I like the work but I find a lot of closed end pens end up being too long in the barrel and look odd to me. Its too long for me but it is pretty.

Nice work there, I have to go with Gerryr on the shape but really think you made a great call going with the Sedona kit.
