Five Ellipse Bolt, errr Pen

[skiprat]

Too late to swap this for one of my others in that crazy FreeForAll Contest:biggrin: Besides, I have to give those mere mortals a chance:devil::biggrin:

It's a pity I can't get the pics better cos the blue in this one is from a bowling ball blank I got from Jeff ( SpongeBob ) It has cool streaks in it.
In my rush to get it finished, I just stuck on a kit nib, but bored it out to take a Parker refill. I'll change the nib next weekend when I get back home. Both the cap and the body actually have a slight taper, but I drilled the blank so thin I couldn't afford to taper them any more.

Comments, criticism welcome:biggrin:

Hey Skippy, that is one sweet looking pen. Very nice job. Some day I hope to reach your skill level.

If this was in the contest I wold have to say nice Q-tip for the clip, but I hold off and just say well done my friend.

 

[jackrichington]

superb spectacular

 

[Rmartin]

That's a sleek looking pen. Great work on the clip.

 

[cinder_ladylocket]

Still holding my breath, afraid to breathe, thats awesome man! Smashing clip.....

 

[workinforwood]

That pen is pretty sweet with a nice clean shape. You're right about the photo, because that blue is dazzling and contains some really spectacular pearl. Love how you used it for a q-tip clip too, that really works. It's good it didn't make the contest, because there's way too many awesome pens over there already!

Steven.....WOW, another stunning creation! Luv the color combo.

 

[penhead]

Awesome pen as usual Skiprat, and I have yet to see any of your pens that I wouldn't love to add to my collection.

And maybe its just me, but I like the contrast between the silver body and gold nib end.

 

[Mather323]

Steven glad to see you back in form and working in Stainless, the nib isn't that bad, over all I'd rate the pen as Awesome.
