VisExp inspired

[papaturner]

me to give the polaris another try using his design he called Diamante. Mine is not near as complex as his but I think it improved the look of the Polaris.
What do you think?

The wood is Brazilian Cherry with pick guard accents, Just a plain friction polish finish.

The second is a Tycoon wrapped in Corian and pickguard accents. The finish is also friction polish.

Thanks for looking.

Very nice. I have to say I like the tycoon better. Your polaris is definately improved over stock, but I just don't like that kits shape for some reason.

I agree alphageek, but I keep trying:biggrin:

I like the Polaris much better than the standard way, which I've never liked (or been able to sell).

Wow, Perry you caught me by surprise. I'm not used to seeing my screen name in the title of a post. Thought I was in trouble for a moment :biggrin:

I'm very flattered that some of my work inspired you to try something. I certainly can't lay claim to the techniques behind the design or probably even the design itself, but you've made my day. Thanks!

The pens look great and your execution of the inlays looks top notch. I also really like the custom finial and clicker. Great job.

Look great perry. We're going to have to get you to do an inlay demo at the next South Eastern Chapter meeting.

Well I like what that does for the Polaris. It makes it a nice looking pen instead of otherwise... Both are very nicely done. Are the pickguard accents on both sides of that cap?

Yeah,Paul accents are on both sides of the cap and on the Polaris.
Thanks all for the comments.

Both are really nice and the inlays add alot to the presentation of the kit. I like it alot. May have to try something along those lines.

Both are very nice. Best Polaris, so far.

I've always wondered, does the Tycoon come with the centerband assembled like a Gent, or loose like a baron?

James the center band comes assembled. I actually wish it didn`t so maybe we could do something with it also.

You certainly did improve the looks! O love the 'Polaris' you made here. WHat a wonderful looking pen. Makes me want to . . . hold it in MY hand.
