Your opinion please

I had some very nice thin left over Curly Maple and didn't want to throw it away. I laminated in a piece of Brazilian Cherry. My wife doesn't like this pen and I am on the fence. I have more blanks glued up. Do I go to the trouble of inserting veneer?

Like the blank the kit is anything but nice and the turning is lovely

I hate going against the better judgement of a woman, but i would say go for it ..

Yeah I'm not keen on the kit but the turning is up to your usual high standard Terry !!!!

Not sure about the kit.....

The skill in making the blank is just amazing, I wish I knew where to start in making them, so yes go for it but put it on a nice kit like Dan's Omega or any of the rollerball/fountain kits from Timberbits.

I like it mate. It reminds me of a hot rod with pin stripes. Very cool!

Appreciate the feedback. I will be making more of these.

 

[Gizmo3k]

Lovely blank! Can you get one on an Omega by the 14th? Saying that, we would know it was yours!

 

[Bill Mooney]

The blank looks fine. Try it on a customer if they like it then there's your answer.

The kit is an ergonomic disaster. it is inept, lacks function, and allows no interpretation of form. Apart from that it's ok.

I think the blank is a little too busy with the conflict between the straight lines and the curves. Think the other blanks you do are really stylish, and being a minimalist think that there is frequently beauty in simplicity.
