I haven't yet tried an Atrax because when I look at it I only envision straight sides and I do not care for making straight sided pens. I like the pen but think you have let it swell to its max.
Yeah I'm in agreement. Also, I envisioned a different shape body and cap working much better for some reason. Who knows, maybe somebody will want to buy it. If not, i have yet another for my desk that I'll look at in disgust everytime lol
I like your pen, I'm not a very good critique, so no help really on the straight vs. curved. I know that I don't like those slimlines that really curved. To me it looks like the turner was afraid of cutting to the brass.
Excellent Pen Michael, the Consensus to-date, seems to be "Straight".
I love your Blanks, Beautifully Turned, Fitted and Finished.
I would also prefer the Pen to be Straight.
Congratulations,
Brian.
I am with the majority that says straight but I have found that there is a great variety in what customers want. I have seen people love things that I did not care for. I would guess this will still sell well.
I love the Atrax platform, and your pen looks nice. I do much prefer the Atrax with straight lines. Here's an Atrax wearing BOW that I sold back in December ($124.95 on Etsy plus another $10.00 for laser engraving).
