Nouveau Sceptres

[Neil]

I came across this photo of some pens I made about four years ago. With the debate about which pen people like best, be it from the TB stable, I thought I would post this that I found in my archives. Beautiful pens. Finish could be better.

Neil as a pen person I like diverse ideas and themes your pens are both good examples that please me no end.

Kind regards Peter.

I do like the pens, but i would have liked them better if the CB wasn't as big .. They have a nice shape to them and i do like the way the pen tapers .. Two good looking pens indeed Neil ..

 

[paulm]

I like them because they're different and would make some myself but I don't think I'd buy it for myself, if that makes sense.

 

[wm460]

Niel they are both excellent pens well done. I quite like this design of pen hardware.

They look like crap you did a few years ago.Good to see you have learned your lessons init?
Correct me but looks like snakewood and spalted apple.
What significance of showing us now, another poorly designed kit?

The relevance is the debate about the quality of kits, this is a good kit and makes a nice pen, good balance and style, but the latter is very subjective. The splayed apple started life as a bocote tree!

Hi, Neil,
I think Jim's comments sum it up for me, too. Beautiful woods, though!

Nice to see them again, not seen any turned for a while though.

Yep, quality kits again there Neil, nice to see metal threads..

To me though it's a marmite kit.

I agree, they might be quality but they don't do it for me, sorry Neil.

They're quality looking pens and kits, just not too sure about the taper of the cap

 

[billyb_imp]

Two great looking pens Neil, give you a feel that you could really get to grips with them

 

[stevenw1963]

my all time favourite kit.
These are really substantial kits that look the dogs danglies.

I have made several of these in fact there are two in my gallery on the forum and have to agree with Steven they are a quality kit
