Something Different

[Fleabit]

This is an unkown wood (I think it is Teak). Slimline pen finsihed in CA/BLO and topped with TSW. What do you think. Tried something a little different. The POS camera I have doesnt do this any justice

 

[Woodnknots]

very nice, I like how you turned the sl into something that looks like a Euro(designer for you non-woodcraft pen people)

 

[WoodChucker]

It looks great and has a nice finish!

Nice looking pen Flea. I like what you did.

I like the change in the design. SL are so bland until the design gets changed.

Nice looking pen but I think I would knock the sharp edge off of the larger upper barrel to help the transition a little.

I agree...the pen is nicely turned and nicely finished, but the transition from the upper barrel to the lower is awfully abrupt.

 

[Gregory Huey]

I agree with weoodscavenger I would have put a little break on the upper barrel but I do think it is some very nice work and finish.

 

[Fleabit]

Yea...I realized after I asembled it that I had not turned the upper barrel down as far as I had wanted. Chaulk one up to trial and error.

Nice looking pen. Like the finish

 

[woodscavenger]

Pull it apart and use a little sandpaper or be really careful with a sharp razor knife to roll the edge. Depending on your finish you might be able to get away with it and refinish it. Or just pop out the finial and stick it back on the mandrel for a quick touch up.

 

[Fleabit]

Already in the works....going to turn it down a touch more to help the transition. BTW, the pic makes the upper tube look bigger than it is, but it is still larger than I had initially planned on.

Great looking Pen Fleabit. You did a great job with the slimline.

Great finish. I'm not sure about the upper tube, but that's just MY personal opinion.
