My new favorite trademark shape.

[Skye]

I drew this one on paper before I turned it. Only one I’ve ever planned out. Looked good on paper and even better once I made it. It’s an unknown wood from DocStram (didn’t smell this time) and a BOW band. I got the idea from a Jaguar ballpoint. It’s by far my most comfortable pen so far. Finger stopper down below, weight of the pen rests in the web of the thumb, works really good.

Great looking pen, Skye, but I see sanding lines just below the CB.[}]

Very nice! I like the shape, and that its beauty comes from balance and proportion rather than highly figured woods and/or colors. A piece of art.

Thanks guys, yeah it's hard not to get a line at that edge beause you want to sand there, but not burning through all the CA because of the hard edge. I missed a sanding step in this pen, so there's more lines that dont show in the pic []

I don't know if you can call it a trademark shape.I have been making them with the"comfort bump" since I started making pens 2 years ago.God only knows who I Stole it from.

 

[Skye]

Yeah, but I thought it was original to combine a fatline with that bump. Heck, we all know nothing is truly original anymore but some shapes make for a pen that points to a particular turner.

That's funny, I don't see any representative examples in your albums...




Very nice Skye. That's one of the only shaped pens I really like....

 

[MesquiteMan]

It looks a little underturned at the nib[] Just giving you a hard time, Skye. It looks great to me and is definately a shape I have never seen before!

Skye

i like your shape, it look comfortable...nice job

 

[NavyDiver]

Skye, nice pen! And Eagle, I like the jigsaw puzzle looking thing.

 

[Randy_]

I like the comfort bump that eagle calls a "turks head" and the contrasting non-kit centerband. Overall look of the pen is very appealing; but wonder if some might prefer it on a diet??

[pete00]

ill take the original pasta induced shape......[][]

 

[Scott]

Skye,

I like it! It is appealing all by itself. I will look forward to seeing other versions of this pen!

Scott.

 

[Skye]

Randy, 80% aint bad but I like the pudgy feel of it. Considering I dont like B2B slimlines, this is the un-slimline.

 

[TBone]

I like it Skye. Also like the 90% version too.

I was actually joking, Skye.[}][] But if you say they are there, I'll believe you.

 

[Skye]

Heh, I aint hiding nothing! [^]

To make matters worse, I forgot a step in the finishing and I've got more, you just cant see them []

70 & 80 were my favorites by eye; but you can't tell a thing about feel from a photo and it certainly is a critcal factor for users if not collectors. And all of it is subject to personal taste.....I don't like the look or feel of the B2B slimline, either!!

 

[chigdon]

I like the shape. It has pleasing proportions.
