Slightly modified Streamline

[Walter]

This is a standard Rizheng Streamline in spalted sycamore modified with a slightly longer (about 10mm longer) barrel at the request of a customer. I think it makes for a quite elegant pen. Comments and critique of the pen are welcome. I know the photograph isn't perfect and I know why so please don't argue with one another about how it could be improved. The background is that colour, (Farrow and Ball "Elephant's Breath" if you must know) there is nothing wrong with the white balance.

Walter,

Is that effectively a streamline with Euro tubes? Any chance you could so a pic that shows the pen from right to left so we can see the balance of the two tubes?

Oh, and if you can do that could you change the back ground and for gods sake get the white balance right.

PS what the hells a white balance?

Nope, its a streamline with a new barrel tube cut from a length of 7mm tube.

A white balance is the opposite of a wong balance.

I will take another side on shot later after I finish making (and eating) this bacon sandwich.

I feel that someone is taking the p1ss

A lovely looking pen Walter and the proportions look good from that angle

Nice pen Walter & the timber is great.

 

[Doug]

It does indeed look elegant Walter, a lovely pen


If that's the colour of elephants breath I'm sure glad I've never smelt it

At the request of Mr Farrer, here is a side on shot:

I like that Walter. The band doesn't dominate the overall pen due to the loner lower section. It lends itself to design variation more too!

 

[Walter]

Thanks for all you comments chaps. Let's hope the customer likes it too.

Boxed up and ready to go:

What a pile of crap.........................


That photo is, no depth of field, white balance all wong, lighting tooooooooooo dark and the background sucks.

Good job you're better at making pens than taking photo's & that don't look bad for a slimline hybrid whatever.

I like it Walter the longer lower section seems to give the pen a better proportion.

Not seen one done like that in your Book
