Here are a few of my pens I have made. I sure am having fun making a few of these things. Comments and Critiques are welcome and thanks for looking.

The blue & white caught my eye. Is it faceted? Does the white bulb on the end have a dual purpose? Grab an inner cap liner? Is it all one piece of acrylic, or?

Welcome to the Forum, Phil!
Those are some very cool and original pieces there. I like all of them, but the one with burl wood (maple?) and black resin is just gorgeous!
Hoping to see more of your work (and resins!) here in the future!

Wow! Just WOW!

Happy Writing!
I think the last one is my favorite but they all look nice. Thanks for sharing!
Also, I am in CA too. We're probably not that far apart. Do you have a shop or sell these locally?
Thanks all,
Ken: that is box elder burl. I hope to get a few casts made for pens maybe even an opal ;-). It has taken a good while to get these figured out.
Heath: I have a website( www.philspenstudio.weebly.com ) that I am terrible about updating, I have not approached any shops as of yet about displaying my pens. I am in Shelby Co if that helps.

I am really liking that first one. I like the combination of the blues, greens, and tans on the cap, which seems a little loud. I have seen this material before and really like it. The all black pen barrel comes in and tames it all down. The first thing I would do to it is install an all black nib and clip. That's just me.

I'm not a pen maker and was just thinking out load. I am not sure where you could get wholesale black nibs. Retail, Goulet Pens sells the Monteverde black nibs. An example: http://www.gouletpens.com/Monteverde...snib-blk-b.htm
They are No. 6 sized nibs.
I remember Edison Pen Co. getting some limited stock of titanium nibs which look cool too. JoWo was the manufacturer but I think they stopped making them.

Sounds interesting, I know a guy who does some anodizing. I may enlist his expertise and have some done in several colors(if he thinks its possible)

Cool! Box Elder is also known as the 'Manitoba Maple' - and I can certainly attest to the fact that there are a LOT of those around here. I keep pilfering bits off a friend of mine's massive MM burl stump that he took out a couple of years ago. Made a cool Christmas decoration out of some last year :-)
Cheers,
Ken
Nice craftsmanship and good looking pens.
Some Platinum Preppy fountain pens come in a range of coloured nibs to match the ink cartridge the come with such as red,pink,purple,green,blue,black and I think yellow or orange.
Maybe showing him one of these pens nibs could help.

Great! The picture says it all! Excellent collections. I own a few custom made pens specially designed for me from www.Halo.com. They are stunning and impressive too
