Pinstripe Rollerball

[darrin1200]

It's been awhile since I posted a pen up.
Just finished this one for a client.
Black Pinstripe with black acrylic. Along with Nickel-silver accents and clip.
It has a 12mm body diameter and 14mm on the cap, using M11 triple thread.
This is the thinest I've made using accent rings. Absolutely no room for error.

Very nicely done. Is the stripes a decal wrapped or is that real acrylic strips and if so how did you stack to get perfect orientation if you do mind me asking? I always love the square ends as opposed to round bulky ones. Simple stated and elegant. The clip is unique. Thanks for showing.

Beautiful work.

Wonderful pen! Always loved pinstripes. Those look really exceptional as well, perfectly strait and they look very evenly spaced (something that often doesn't occur with many marketed pinstripe pen blanks.) Curious how you did that? A couple years ago I came across some 3D printed designs for a pinstripe "core" that could then have resin cast around it for pinstripes, however I am not sure that would look as good as what you have here in the end.

Very nice. Where did you get the blank with the pinstripes?

Thanks all. It's actually a polyester blank from BearTooth Woods, called Pelican Bay.
It is very chippy.

Thanks
The clip is my own design. Hand cut with a jewellers saw.

Thanks. I see the answer to the blank also. Will keep in mind.
