Haven't seen this one before....at least with these same measurements! [:p]

I really like this "new" shape. It feels good in the hand. Not sure what the wood is.

I also wanted to try a new finish - it's "friction lacquer" First polish the wood up to 2000 grit. After that, Deft brushable semi-gloss rubbed on with the lathe stopped and then frictioned for a bit; repeat as needed to build some depth. It's as smooth as a baby's....well, it's real smooth. Now it gets to ride in my pocket to see how it holds up.

Gunmetal fancy slimline with "mystery" wood:

Dang, the "trademark office" is going to be busy with all the requests to register the comfort bump shape. Hopefully they aren't using a similar pen when they enter your request. [;)][:D]
 
Nice looking pen. I hate to be the one to tell you,[:(]the shape is a standard one that just about everyone makes. I believe that PSI even sells a pattern for duplicators in that shape or one very close.
 
Rick,
Nice work. Have you tried doing your own center bands? I love to do that. It gives you more variety with sizes and shapes. This one's nice though. It is like the one I did for my wife, but that was kingwood and tulipwood.

Thanks!! Centerbands are on the list of things to try! [:D] I usually don't like slimlines with the pinched waists but I mostly wanted a pen to try a lacquer finish on, hence the "mystery" wood - when I got done with this one, and held it, I was pleased with the shape and the feel in the hand.
