My Favorite Pen

[jeff...]

Clay (Clowman) made this one for me had to be well over a year ago. It's made from one of my secret sauce maple pen blanks and is my daily writer, just feels right in my hand like it was made especially for me. Take a close look you'll see it's flawless, despite it's gets used daily. Clay made it for the long haul...

Thanks Clay - Your an awesome guy - despite what DaveO says about you, don't listen to him :gar-La;.

Thanks

Pen blank secret sauce is not for drinking that's for sure... You game for pen blanks from my Grand Daughters Doll Cradle?

I have not tossed the scrap yet... some selective cutting will make some pretty pen blanks I'm sure...

Thanks

That's funny I still use to this day (despite all the pens I've turned) a pen made for me by Clay. It's from some of my Purpleheart scrap. It ain't very pretty any more as it has been handled and dropped extensively over the last 3 years that I have used it. But it is still a high quality pen and looks as good as any would considering the use it has suffered.

Yeah man you sure did - I wonder if it'll make it to the picnic would be cool to see it again wouldn't it - more so for you since you made it and all.

That sure is a beautiful pen. I've only made slimlines since that is one of the projects my high school students make. Here is my favorite one. It is made from a piece of amboyna burl and deer antler. The piece of scrap amboyna was to short so I came up with this to put it into a pen. The middle band is turned from deer antler as well.

Really - cool - sure is nice, almost looks like plastic. Looks like it would be an awesome wedding pen - sign the guest book...

 

[clowman]

Thanks guys. That really means alot to me. You guys are just too kind.

 

[clowman]

I'd like to see a recent picture of your purpleheart pen Dave...

I'll get one for you, but you better be sitting down. It has had a hard life, The good thing is it still functions as it should and feels good in my hand. The CA finish is still looking good. It has suffered a few dents. The worse of the wear is from clipping it onto my clip board very regularly. That has worn the finish right under the clip ball.
Overall it has lasted and preformed better and longer than any store bought pen (4 ink cartridges in to it).
