first kitless concept

[thefunkyP]

Here is a picture of a concept for a kitless baron I'm working on. Quite the victory for me in terms of finishing it with the tools that I have and the lack of experience of the craftsman.

That said there are many issues with it still that I must work out. The friction fit doesn't fit, the postable cap doesn't post, the wooden finial on the cap is crooked, and the wood design didn't come out as I had hoped, the thread cover on the wooden grip covers everywhere except where it got so thin that it cracked and split, the closed end barrel is out of round, and since the cap doesn't fit the cap won't seal with the body.



thanks for looking, comments and criticism appreciated!

Looks great Ben, a bigger picture would be better so we can see more of your good work!

This are the first birthing pains of a great pen.
Don't give up. Keep at it and share your victory.
You are making great strides.

Glad to hear you didn't have any serious problems with it. How much you plan to ask for it?

A serious undertaking for sure...

Will be interested in seeing your progress!

Tried to get the image so I could see it better... If I go any larger it really got fuzzy looking....
