Not something I'd normally make ...

[Kaspar]

... but if that's what the customer wants ...

The blue and gold really don't work for me. If the fittings were all silver that would go well. But I nailed the sweeter parts of the blank, I think.

I just had my eyes checked today - but I can't see this "pen."

If that is what the customer wants, you nailed it. Smile all the way to the bank.

BTW, It is a nice looking pen.

 

[louisbry]

I agree with you about all silver fittings, but it is a beautiful pen anyway.

 

[rdunn12]

Yep you nailed it.I kind of like the blue and gold.Good looking pen.

 

[alamocdc]

Kaspar, like you I prefer silver w/blue, but you did it proud. The customer should be very pleased.

 

[doddman70]

Looks pretty good!!! nice job

That is a beautifully made pen by any standard. Like you Kaspar, I have reservations about the kit but not because of the gold. I think plain gold would have made your pen a real stunner. It's the fussiness of the kit that detracts, IMHO.
Great pen all the same.[^]

Kaspar,I think you did a great job on the pen, I also think the blue and gold are Ok but the pattern of the hardware is way too busy, maybe on a wood pen that didn't have alot of grain pattern it would look nice, but to me it distracts from the over all pen, particularly the beautiful acrylic blank, but it's still a darned fine looking pen.

What a finish on that one ! Ya did a good job !

 

[jwoodwright]

Great pen, Really love the blank. Very ornate fittings. I too thought silver would be better. Then I remembered the Golden Rule, he who has the gold makes the rules...

If this is the pen made from the Customers request, then you have achieved your goal... As they say, laugh all the way to the bank...

 

[fernhills]

Very Nice,i think it is just rightCarlo

 

[Tanner]

Awesome looking pen! Don't tell any Notre Dame fans that Blue and Gold don't look good together.

 

[Ligget]

Lovely work![]

 

[simomatra]

Its a nice kit but a little blue for me but who am I to say. If thats what the customer wants its spot on

 

[Dan_F]

Dan

 

[Kaspar]
