New Closed Ended Real Ivory Pen

[timcbs]

Hi All,

Here is the latest pen of the week, It is a double closed ended with hidden clip fountain Pen, This is the first time trying this with Ivory, I just wanted to make sure I did not screw this one up, over 100.00 worth of Ivory. but it came out super nice.

All comments are welcome.

Super nice is an understatement. It screams sophistication and class!! Well done.

Very nice. I love working with ivory and can understand the nerves involved about screwing it up. Simple but very elegant. Great looking pen.

They say the sincerest form of flattery is imitation, but in my opinion it's when someone says "I wouldn't mind buying that".



I honestly wouldn't mind buying that.

 

[lazyguy]

That is simply spectacular. If you don't mind me asking where did the ivory come from?

Ivory pen

That has a very simple yet sophistacated appearance. I am certain that who ever purchases that pen will be very pleased. The lack of a center band looks great it reminds me of early fountain pens

Love IT !!!!
I really like the hidden clip.
Where would I look to find ivory to try one for myself.
I would also love to know how you did the hidden clip with the closed in pen.
Are the how toos posted somewhere in the forum.
I am new to the membership and still learning where to find info.
Thanks
SUPER PEN!!!

Beautiful work, Tim!
I would have the shakes on that much money in real ivory,
you obviously did not.
I like the execution of your design.

 

[Rifleman1776]

extremly elegant

Yes, extremely elegant. And, very well done. I don't think my nerves could handle that. Are you going to keep it or sell?
Did you put a finish or other protective finish on the ivory?

 

[DotDoc]

Nothing more than a work of art...great looking pen

 

[johncrane]

Tim!
Your work and finished pen looks fantastic, first class all the way, i also think that clip is one of the best out there and looks great with the ivory, this is a keeper for sure.:biggrin: well done!:wink:

 

[wizard]

That is a beautiful pen! I would love to learn to make something that gorgeous. You are truly talented. Best Wishes, Wizard

 

[timcbs]

I am looking to sell it and the Finnish I used was CA instead of lacquer, should last longer...

 

[Ankrom Exotics]

That pen is sweet..... nice job all around.
