One for the kids

[alamocdc]

This gold Baron RB is going to the Cook Children's auction. Hard Maple burl from Rich (Low48) dyed light blue. Actually looks more teal though.

And a closed view.

I know, I know, a lot of you don't like a lot of curves on capped pens and why in the world would anyone want to dye such a beautiful burl? 1) I'm a little strange and 2) I like to experiment. I didn't use dye!!!

I like the curves, and the pen. Hopefully it will come in second (behind mine)...sorry...had to at least TRY!

It seems to be missing part of the nib [?] Is that part of #1 or #2? [] Kidding aside, it looks real nice Billy.

Drat! I was thinking of trying to do one of these one day soon; but since you evidently stole the fantastic design right out of my head, now I'll have to wait for some more inspiration, I guess........

Obviously, I think the curves you cut in this are just fine! Hope it raises a pile of money for the kids! Good show!

very nice pen Billy, now you say you didn't use dye, what did you use,? cordial?[?][?] you got me [xx(]

Billy that is a great pen design. The color draw your eye to the pen and the curves make for an appealing shape.

I just noticed the tip was missing. Nice shape, but I bet they will want the ink...
LOL

THen again at 11:30 at night you are allowed to make mistakes

Thanks, folks! It does look like the tip of the nib assembly is missing doesn't it? [] I'll have BB send me a new one right away! LOL! BTW, the "dye" is from a highlighter. [] I also forgot to add that I used a BLO/CA finish. [B)] It was late.
