This is one that I c*cked up !!!

[Terry]

I got some Mesquite from our friend Lignaterrae and I decided to put it on a Baron rollerball. Unfortunately I chipped the cap end slightly so I decided to sand the tube and blank slightly to hide it. I thought that I had got away with it but looking at the photo one end of the pen section looks like it is bellying in slightly although it is not noticible when in the hand.
It looks like this one will be a freebie !!! Finished in CA.

That's really a shame Terry, such a beautiful piece of wood. It still looks better than my best ones.

It's not a cock-up, it's a unique design feature.

Well, OK so it's a cock up. Pity, but we all have them. Brings me out in white spots just thinking about it.

 

[yorkshireman]

Nowt wrong with it Terry

 

[Buckeye]

It's a built in feature, unique and commands a premium, freebie, what's that, if it's not good enough strip it and make another, but it looks more than good enough

I chose to call them plonker moments.. not sure why I call it that..

Looks good though, done a good job apart from that.. But we are our own worse critics..

 

[wm460]

Looks OK from here.
Believe it or not I have been asked to make a couple of pens like that. Got a pic somewhere.

 

[Terry]

No this one is definitely a freebie. I am not happy with it and to be honest I don't think it's worth stripping !!!

A cracking pen if thats a cock up Terry, I wouldn't give it away unless it was to family or friends. It would go into my seconds box which I sell as well
