Stainless and Bloody Jasper

[skiprat]

At last back to having some kitless fun and to try and stop my buddy Butch complaining about me using kit pens:biggrin:
This was a pain in the butt to make Originally the cap was also Bloody Jasper Tru-Stone but shattered when I tried to tap it. :redface: I eventually settled for a delrin sleeve inside the stainless cap. I like the shape of the pen, but I'm not too keen on the cap. I really didn't want to do the same old thing with the wire clip either but anyway...

Any comments and or critiques welcome:wink:

I really like that.

FWIW - I like the look of the cap, but agree with you about the wire clip. I'm also not fond of the shape of the nib end. But the colors go together really well, and the shape of the pen is awesome.

Steven,
To put it plainly, your bloody Jasper pen is bloody fantastic. I like the combo between the SS and Trustone. Too bad about the cap, the pen shape is slick.

It looks better than I can do Steve. I agree with you on the cap, it just needs a red trim ring. The steel and red really go well together, that's for sure! I love looking at your pens.

WOW!! that is amazing I love the contrast between metal and the color. A true unique beauty.

Not that I'd be complaining cuz your work is extraordinary. Thats a mighty fine piece of craftsmanship you have there. I do think a band of jasper the same width as the stainless band on the bottom would have set it off nice. Right below the clip.

But what do I know I couldnt even imagine coming up with a piece of work like that. Your truely gifted

Go away Skippy! I feel inadequate.:tongue::tongue:

 

[workinforwood]

Maybe he should be sending this pen to me. I don't have a rat pen! Can I see inside the cap at your delrin insert please?

 

[skiprat]

Thanks again for the comments. I'll try and add a touch of red to the bottom of the cap also.

Jeff there is a pic of the inside of the cap here

Beautiful Steven!!! I too, like the way that the SS and combines with the BB jasper!!:tongue:

I like the touch that you did on the final. I think that is about perfect and wouldn't change a thing!!! The clip does seem a bit "heavy" for the delicate but modern lines of this one though. Maybe that it why the cap looks a bit off to you? Dunno. Just my tuppence worth!!
