I put these in an old thread, but wanted opinions on it, so I am posting it here also.

I like it Dan, I like the Rhodium or Black Tn finish typically with the Jr Gent II better but the chrome goes awesome with that blank so nice pairing. Great job!

Hi Dan:

I see no issues with your turning, fit and shape!

The blank is a bit "dull" for me... But if it is what you wanted, then that is simply a matter of preference, with no issues. :tongue:

Did you make a custon finial? It looks like the stock finial, but as it is black and matches the blank it is hard to tell.

If it's not a custom finial, for other colors, it would add a lot, so consider that!
Many resources for finials, but here's a recent one.

Have Fun!

Thanks guys. Mark, the pictures make it look pretty boring, but there are actually swirls of red and white in the blank that don't show up.

Very nice!

That's a nice looking pen. Agree about the finial, they're not difficult to make and they really add to the look of the pen. But black with black (and the black trim ring) all work very well together.

Maybe this shows the blank a bit better. I don't know maybe it is still boring.

Actually Dan, that pic shows the coloring much better! :wink:

A Very Classy Pen, Dan.
I love the Subtlety of the Blank.
Reminds me of those Beautiful Celluloid Pens of Yester Years
Excellent Fit and Superb Finish.
Congratulations,
Brian.

Sweet job. You have the lines down nicely and that pen looks very nice.
