This pen is made from a poly resin - Smoke n' Mist.
From Slabs blanks and boards. Nice stuff - got 6 blanks today! Woot!
It's 130mm open, 145mm capped, and 172mm posted.
Section is a pinched 13mm thick, with 9/16" threads for cap to barrel.
I think the cap could stand to be a little shorter, only a little, and I cut too many threads in the barrel. Looks bad. If I had only cut them about 12mm deep then the cap would hide them all when the pen is closed. It posts VERY nicely.
Did this for the demo today at BSea's house. Power went out in the whole neighborhood after lunch so couldn't do more than the section and barrel. Finished the cap at home tonight and put a clip on it.
I also made a quick clip tutorial type series of photos and a little video for filing the thing for the clip. I'll get that up later.
