Zen with a Brooks special...

[omb76]

Made this today from another blank that I got from Brooks. I still can't get over how awesome these blanks are! They are the most unassuming blanks you'll see, but there is magic inside! Paired this one up with a chrome Zen, sanded to 12000, plastic polish, and viola! :biggrin: Comments welcome and thanks for looking!

When I first opened this I thought it was wood too! It looks great David. That was one of my very early versions of "fakelite". I gotta find a nicer name for those btw. Very cool pen.

Gorgeous pen! Jonathan's blanks have such depth, dimension and movement to them and you did a wonderful job of turning it into a work of art. Thanks for showing. Regards, Doc

lol...Tim, I met David at the last Georgia chapter meeting and I took a bin of blanks with me. I don't have a site or anything like that. That's why it was such an easy option to partner up with exotics. I'll still be available for custom colored orders too, I just needed to put that side on hold for a short time so I can get some large batches made up.

I think when I go to make more of these I'll call them "root beer _____". Fakelite doesn't ring a very classy bell, gotta think of something.

Root Beer FLOAT was the first thought that entered my mind.Might have something to do with the weather and the possibility of Spring arriving soon.As a child I was convinced that the A in A&W stood for Andy...sadly as an adult I learn it stood for Ashland & Wooster two towns in Ohio:frown:

I was just thinking that you and Exotics would be a great pairing! I only have a couple of your blanks left and am looking forward to being able to place another order. Good luck with your partnership!
