Penstripe Pen

[Dalecamino]

After swearing off making pens a few months ago, I saw some of my great grand daughters penstriping work, and asked if he could do that on a 3/8ths diameter tube. He said he would try. So I gave him a Sierra tube already painted with Dark Red Metallic model paint.

I think he did well with the first one. I asked Mike Drake (MRducks2) if he would cast it for me. He did a great job in doing so. Thanks Mike!

So here it is. The first of more to come. :wink:

As I said in the other thread - Very nice! The hand-painted art work is excellent.

I believe you got something here! Many different designs with Auto pinstriping that are adaptable for pen tubes.

Thanks for sharing. (Maybe you should reconsider turning JUST A FEW more pens!).

Thanks again Mark. It's been awhile since I've posted pen photos...I guess I got carried away. But thought both forums would be appropriate just this one time. :biggrin:

Yes, there are more ideas in this mans mind, and he says he will paint more for me. I didn't mind turning this one at all. :biggrin:

If you find something you like turning, all is well.

It turned out great, Chuck. I think the kit goes well with the blank.

Casting was the easy part. Just happy I didn't mess up my first tube-in cast, especially since it wasn't mine!

Glad you cranked one out and even happier you enjoyed it. As you know, my shop is your shop so anything you need.
