Premium Designer in Cocobolo - Center Band Modificaiton

[egnald]

Greetings all,

Today I finished up another PSI Premium Designer NT in Cocobolo with a much nicer color compared to the one I posted a day or so ago. (The pictures don't do it justice). I did a modification to eliminate the center band on this one. It is finished with my standard CA regimen instead of GluBoost this time.

Regards,
Dave

That's elegant

Lovely pen, Dave.

I really like the continuity of the wood over breaking it up with a metal center band.

Hi all, since posting, I took it apart and put a small radius on the upper blank to soften the transition between the upper blank and the lower and then re-touched up the CA finish on that end. I think it looks better without the harsh step you can see in the initial photos above. - Dave

Yes, David, that improves the look.

Excellent bit of work there, Dave. I really like this version of the Euro NT. Less bling and more Cocobolo is a recipe for success.

That's a very nice looking pen. Very well done!

I like the pen better with a small radius. It softens the transition and is more visually appealing. Good job Dave!
