2019 Pens

[flexi]

Hi all, I ll put this in here for some Christmas fun/inspiration.....my friend Mik has been asking people on FB to post pictures of various pens from 2019 and it's made me think....yes hard I know,
But here goes......
Please post a picture and comment of what 'YOU' think is your best pen achievement in 2019.....it may be your first or your latest in any material, but let's try to both interest and inspire others to try different things.

Mine is this....a request for a cigar pen, made with an original cigar band, this was my third attempt...I don't cast so it had a CA finish built up to cover the label
I have done loads of other bits but this is the one that frustrated/pushed me further....

Nice one Mark
Phil's going to love you, making him go through loads of pens for his Pen Of The Week.

Go for it gang. THey've probably all appeared in POTW previously anyway, so we'll exclude this particular thread

I'm not looking for what we as a collective have selected but what "YOU" feel is "YOUR" best achievement!

 

[Les ELm]

Looks great.

Great looking pen Mark.

Only made a 1/2 dozen pens this year.

For me, aside from the kitless fountain pens I make,
this is one of my best turned pens.
Probably because the hole was drilled perfectly on center
and the segments looked the same all around the pen

Love the trend toward these excellent pens,keep them rolling in people.

I remember my stuff up with my one and only attempt at stamp pens.

I guess mine would be the Giant Pinecone Zeta that I turned up, it was a challenge but I was pleased with the result in the end, still can’t write more than a couple of words with it before I need a splint on my wrist. It’s been a real head turner at the couple of craft fayres that I’ve attended, lost count of the number of selfies taken with it

 

[Penpal]

Imaginitive approach for real success.

Peter.

 

[Bill Mooney]

I haven’t made many pens this year so I suppose this is my best one.

Even if you don't make many Bill those you do make have a lovely shape to 'em.....love the colours in that blank too

Mark, just to put a 2019 pen in before the end of the year.
This is my first fountain pen.
Alan.

 

[Bill Mooney]

That looks a fine pen Alan.

These are the last two pens I made this year, and probably my best. The red one is a PSI Diva Charm with a ruby red acrylic blank. The green one is a PSI Celtic with a green swirl acrylic blank.
