Segmented Hybrid Slimline Pen

[Jim]

This pen was made using parts from what was on my shelf where all the odd parts are kept .. The top barrel is the Boxwood saved from the pen that cracked last week it is on a Gold plated Slimline ... The bottom barrel is made with segmented Pau Amerilla and Padauk ... A friction finish and polished using an EEE-Ultra Shine and Shellawax Cream polish

Now this I reeaally like Frankie.

Not sure on this one Jim. The turning and finish are spot on but I just think the top and bottom barrels don't go together!!!!

 

[Doug]

Certainly unusual Jim :contacts:

Workmanship looks up to your standard mate.:up:

Glad to see you managed to salvage something from the boxwood Jim

 

[Woody]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm different not sure on the combination yet workmanship cant be faulted first class as always

 

[Jimjam66]

Lovely workmanship as always Jim, and the PA and Padauk combination is stunning, but ... not sure the boxwood works with it.

Must agree with Terry on this one I think the clip end does not do the segmented end justice

 

[bellringer]

it is different

 

[stevenw1963]

got to agree with above, like the segmenting not sure on the boxwood tho.

 

[bluntchisel]

Yep, I agree with Terry - good work with the pen but the halves don't match. Solution? Cut similar sections and join 'em together!
Regards,
Bob.

Thanks guys, but there is always the option of changing the top barrel, but i am sure that this pen will still make a nice freebie to some friend/work mate etc ...

Well I have to be honest this is only the second forum Ive ever been on and you dont get attacked or slated by every body for saying I don't like something the top mans post and that is a credit to this forum and to you Jim

 

[edlea]

Not doubting the workmanship Jim ..but it does look like was made from parts what were on a shelf.

Segmenting looks stunning Jim, not so sure about adding the boxwood end.
Waste not want not though!!!!
