Red Metallic Yippeeee!!!

[Buzzzz4]

This was a yippeee! A red metallic I placed on a black titanium euro. Getting the hang of these tenons. One of my favorite pens to date. I switched around the order of the bands as well just for fun. Feedback encouraged as I'm learning every time I turn a new pen.

nice job, the background though doesn't help, maybe a white background would show it off better

That is a sweet looking pen.

 

[SonOfMartin]

Nice job, and I like the background....just my opinion.

Great Job, Eric!!!

And lucky timing, I have 15kg of that material on it's way!! (Couple hundred blanks--23mm diameter---.9")

 

[Karin Voorhis]

That is a lovely color.

That's a handsome and professional looking pen. You did a great job on the fit and finish.

Yippeeee?? Is that the name of the blank? I'd definitely be interested, as that looks excellent!

It's called red in the "metallics" series. Currently out of stock. Will be here in the next two weeks. New stock will be .9" diameter so it will fit the big pens.

Nicely done pen.
That's a blank I'll have to turn someday!

Very Nice looking pen. Nice flow

 

[Draken]

Nice looking pen. I take it the metallics are opaque enough to not require painting of the tubes?

 

[Bree]

Looks real nice!

I'd be curious about this as well.

Very nice! I love the way you kept the bottom barrel big and then tapered it off just before it came to the center band. Looks really nice that way.

 

[Buzzzz4]

Thanks for all the great comments! I do love this material. I did not paint the inside of the tube for this one. I've done the purple version before and that one came out just as nice.

As you know, James, "When in doubt, paint!!"

But you will only see through it near the nib. And that depends on what style pen and, of course, material thickness. Paint the first one then decide if you needed to, or not.

(I rarely paint tubes, but I don't like thin ends, either)
