Got my PITH pen today from robutacion (George Valentine) and I have to say I could not be pleased more! He out did himself by making my pen from his recently created new blank design. I think he cast a stainless pot scruber and the effect is similar to a catcus blank but the color is silver metalic. I am sure it will be a big hit in his blank lineup. The pens fit and finish are spot on and I will give it a place of honor in my collection.
George also sent me some beautiful blanks so I have a chance to make some special pens from Australia timbers. Thanks George!
Thanks Louis for you kind words, most appreciated...!
I'm glad that you like what I did with your pen, you are correct, the blank was one of the stainless steal kitchen pot scrubers, I made and show on the "tease" thread for you...! Just something different, as I like.:wink:
My small blanks selection as part of the 2012 PITH principle, will give great pens, I look forwards to see them, in time, off-course...!
I may consider making a few of these blanks for other to have a go at them, and see what come up in the end, that will be most interesting...!:wink::biggrin:
Well, that's all from me, for this 2012 PITH, hope everyone is on top of things with it, and that many other people get nice surprises, also...!
Good luck...!
PS: Just before I go, and knowing how difficult it was to photograft this pen, I shot about 20 pics, only a hand full did come up half decent so, I will add a couple more here, some in close up for more detail view of the blank...! You don't mind, do you Louis...???
Cheers
George
