First Jr Gent I and First credit card pen

[betwisted]

The Jr Gent is dressed in a home cast worthless wood (buckeye burl trimmings) with true blue pearlex in silmar. got the hardware from smittys and thought it was a decent deal. This is also only the 2nd FP I've done. I plan on carrying this one with me for a bit.

The credit card pen was made for a client. She had a small (similar length, but a little thinner) disposable pen for her checkbook and the ink ran out. This is also a home cast violet/ pearl white pearlex in silmar. I had the blanks made and drilled and reverse painted for a pen for a different client who at the last minute changed her mind. I held onto the blanks hoping to use them elsewhere, and it all worked out.

Anyway, thanks for checkin out my post and pens.
C&C welcome and appreciated,
Joe

That cast blank on the gent looks amazing! Makes me want to check into casting my own blanks.

That blank on the Jr. Gent is really nice you did an awesome job with it. Very nice pens.

That WW blank looks great. Any problems with the resin separating? I have a bunch of WW just waiting. Seems I have a lot of projects waiting

I've done 1 of those credit card pens. My mother had to have 1 for her checkbook. She's still using it about a year later, so I guess they're not too bad. Although she doesn't write many checks anymore. I really like the blank you did for it. Even if you didn't make the blank specifically for that pen.

Thanks for the nice comments
My wife said the gent reminded her of looking at a globe.

When I cast the wood in the gent the only issue I had was the wood trying to float out. I did the cast with about 75psi, and I cleaned any little loose pieces and crevices out to maximize the stickiness. It turned very well using my carbide cutters.

Thanks again,
Joe
