Ahead of the curve. Waaay ahead.


One of Neil's Herringbones. I was either going to put it in an Imperial or a Statesman. The Statesman used more of the blank. I'm especially pleased with how I cut just the right amount from the middle so the pattern continues correctly past the CB.

Your attention to detail paid off. The blank is awesome and you did an exceptional job with it.
 
Thanks, folks!

Yeah, in the end, only the Statesman would do. It was a pricey blank, requiring a pricey kit, but it's also the main interest of the pen, so you want a good, but understated, kit.

I'm curious as to why the finish doesn't show up a little better in the pictures. In the sun, it's positively liquid.

Here it is open:

 
Eric, that's awsome, very nice blank, kit and finish and it's not gaudy either.
I was wondering how many compliment can I give to have you doante that pen for a goos cause inspiration?:biggrin::biggrin::wink:
Or, should I not hold my breath? :eek:
 
Eric, you did a fantastic job on an Amazing blank, the detail matching is awesome and the finish to me looks beautiful particularly in the open picture, Outstanding work from both you and Neil :wink::wink:
 
That is one good looking pen. Terrific job by both of you. I have one of those blanks from Neil with BOW/mesquite and have been trying to decide what kit to use. I think you may have just made up my mind.
 
Thanks all!

If I hadn't laid out so much for the blank, and gone off budget to do so, I might consider it. But I've got to recoup some of that cost.

Outstanding work and finish on that one. The blank almost didn't go up for sale, I really liked it.

The combination of woods and the overall pattern and plan were spot on. Great blank. I liked your rainbow one too, but this one was too hard to resist.
 
Again, fantastic pen. Did you take out insurance on the blank when you were turning it? I can't imagine have that many pennies on the line. Well done!
 
Sorry I missed this one earlier.:eek: But I'm sure glad that I saw it now!
What a beauty of a pen Eric!!! Just too stunning for words! Please pardon me while sit and drool over this one for a while..:tongue:

Gosh I love seeing your work!!
