Mini Churchill

[tokyotank]

Here is the Mini Churchill. I got an order from a local Redwood dealer same guy I get my IPE' from. I sold him my African Blackwood Churchill and he asked me if I could make 5 more from Redwood but shorter, so I said ABSOLUTLEY. I lopped 3/4" off of the body length and here we are. Actuall fits well and real balanced in the hand I think I like the shorter version better. He also ordered 5 Mach 3 razor kits. Then he told me I could set up a display in the lobby of his showroom and sell. All profits go to me he wants nothing more than to some other product in the showroom. I'll kick him down a nice pen from time to time for the free exposure. They are sanded to 600 , EEE, and crystal coat.As always comments welcome. Thanks Jeremy

Was that 3/4 just enough to leave the spring out and still have it fit snug? Or did you have to make some other accommodation for the short body?

Nice looking pen, I have made several Churchills, I may try me one like yours. What kind of refill did you change it over to, a Parker?

The refill was to long. I pulled the stopper plug from the schmidt and trimmed it down and put the plug back in. Worked like a charm.
