Serpentine

[Timebandit]

So since we are all waiting on a place to post out Best of IAP contest pens, i thought i would post a pic of one of the pens i made that didnt make it into the contest. I made a bunch of pens and then picked the best 3 for the contest. This is made from vintage Serpentine Cebloplast. I hade a 5" piece and it wasnt long enough to make a pen, so Ken(bitshird) was kind enough to send me a 3" piece so i could make this pen. Well all went well until i was turning the front section and i broke the threads off. So i contacted Ken and he was kind enough to send me another 2" to make this happen. Thanks Ken!!!! So here it is. Serpentine Cebloplast with a #6 Meisternib, with gold hardware. I went with the gold because back in the day almost all hardware was gold, so i wanted to stay true to this material. This material was very hard to photograph.

All Comments Welcome

Thanks For Looking

Justin

Well done Justin. I love the shape of the section and your clip installation is one of the best. I bet you would do well with these as a show like the Dallas Pen Show.

Thanks!! That means a lot as i know you are a professional photographer.:redface::biggrin:It took me a while to get good photos. I had some help from our resident Wizard, and they have never been the same.

Another great looking pen Justin. With yet another good looking nib section creation. You just keep knocking them out. Can't wait to see what 3 you are entering in the contest.

Justin, it is fabulous, the pieces of rod certainly came out far better than any thing I could have done with it. The clean flow of line throughout the design is awesome. A pen like that is definitely Dallas or DC pen show quality and then some!!

Thank You

Justin, I think that this and the the blue, red, and black cebloplast that you showed as one the contest entries are my favorites. I love the profile and the colors on this. Very clean and streamlined. Absolutely beautiful. Hey, but I expect that from my Sensei.:wink:. Doc

 

[hewunch]

Another beaut! May I ask where you got the clip?

I got it from Brian Gray. He doesnt sell clips, i just asked and he sold me some. No sure if he will be selling more, as this isnt an item he stocks.
