Nothing wrong with those Steve, you've experimented with the shape and they all look very sellable.

Now your talking something I am aware of. When I commenced making Slimlines I thought I had discovered the Holy Grail in Pen design doing what some call the ladies waist shape, right away I discovered also that a skinny Slimline has a wafer thick veneer of timber around the brass sleeve prone to splitting very useful in daily organisers in the pocket. Since you presented them the 4th from the left and the last one in horn are delightful to me.

Now these days like a shining light the so called over here the Streamline pen kit has a much larger centre band that to me opens up a new vista of Slimline activity allowing a fatter pen that can be useful to display more timber or plastic from beaut blanks some grain hardly shows on skinny pens. Please forgive me if I illustrate this using one of my pens.

If this display of your pens are your first they will allow you to progess easily because they are good to reflect with and on. Thank you indeed for responding to the pictures plea it is valid and you met the challenge well.

Kind regards Peter.
