My first Concava

When I read Paul's post about his Concava, I had already made this one. I just recently took a photo, so here it is in gunmetal.

The gunmetal plating is quite a light colour, almost like a dark chrome, but the kit seems very good quality - I like it. This is for my daughter in Oz when I go there in a few weeks.

Harry you have hit on something new with these kits with turning the top half convex a little it debulks the top half nicely, strong blue blank neat pen. Where in the Land Of Aus does your daughter reside mate?

Very nice pen Harry. As a rule I don't like this kit. But the blank and the way you have turned it work really well :thumbs:

That's very nice, Harry! I've heard a couple of folk say the concave cap doesn't work, but looking at yours I think it does!

Thanks David! Ever since seeing a Pic of the Concava, I have wanted to make one. When I showed it to some previous customers they showed an interest in buying.
