Justin,
Appreciated your recent communication.
Grey on Grey with swirls then soft lines separating the swirls, why not point the top and bottom as well. I see you followed that swirl shape on the bottom to frame the detail, some times I make coves etc to delve into bark inclusions etc.
Because the fatter top houses the recessed Silver clip this neatly framed the clip, gave it a housing and a proper home.
Very sturdy nib denoting strength when exposed, often opened pens need a shape such as your nib rather than the smaller restricted shape ones, looks also broadish line producing my favourite.
The black housing for the pen completes a picture of neat pen to go.
In all things there are three the pen in this instance you designed, the pen you made and the pen you wished you made, unsettling as this can be by your own admittance every one is a building block in the tapestry of life. Personally demonstrating can be distraction even though very social, got caught following someone on a lathe had left it in reverse, never had a wood lathe reversed before and made a goose of myself trying to drill the blank.
Now for all of us I will start a new trend I will send you a blank or two if you will use timber so as to turn away the clamouring for your stuff, really like to share with you not take.
Kind regards Peter.
