Spectrply Pen

[Rounder]

Here is the pen I made from the Spectrply sale that occurred recently. Many thanks to DavidH14 for making sure I had a straight hole drilled through this blank. Miters cut in a hand miter box and back saw. This is on a Smitty's Pen Works Leroy V2 Pen kit. Turned out better than expected for first segment to do this way. Critiques and criticisms welcome. Except for pictures. I know they stink.

Nice, clean looking pens. I think you have a winner.

Well done!!

The segments match very well and the ends are well balanced.

Pulled off very nicely. A round of applause is deserved.

Man I must be getting real old. I thought i saw this thread before and commented in it there. Maybe I was dreaming it

Anyway it is worth repeating anyway. This is a real fine pen and one can now see why the accuracy of the drilling was so important on a blank like that. I think I also mentioned that you took a simple cut and made it look complex and interesting. Your execution of the cuts and alignment are spot on. Thanks for showing and look forward to seeing more of your work.

I posted this in the Spectraply thread also John. I just thought that not everyone would see it there so I put it in the Show Off Your Pens Forum also. So you can't blame age, lol.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH see now I feel better. I feel young again. I think I will go take a nap.:biggrin::biggrin:

John, you do not have to be old to enjoy a nap. However, when we get older we seem to need them more often.

 

[mike4066]

Great job on the alignment of the segments.

When we are young we pitch a fit because we have to take a nap. The older we get we pitch a fit because we can't take a nap.:biggrin:
