My first Jr Retro...

[Ligget]

Hi Everyone, thought I would share my latest work with you all. I bought some Jr Retro pens a few months ago but never had the time to make one until now!

This is a Jr Retro rollerball pen made from Yew Burl, hardware is rhodium and the finish is CA/BLO. The wood is lighter in colour at the bottom of the pen going darker along the length, it is beautiful.[]

What do you think? Comments welcome!

Absolutely gorgeous. I am going to have to try that retro kit. I like the changing color too. Very nice job Mark.

 

[Marc Phillips]

Wood is gorgeous, excellent craftsmanship, fantastic finish, way good photo, in the US we'd say you hit a Grand Slam Home Run. Bases loaded, everyone scores. In GB you'd say "Good Wicket!" (I made that up, I have no idea what Cricket terminology is for a Home Run, LOL).
Way to go Mark!
