The Bees Knees

Bryguy · Dec 20, 2020

Made this one for my son, the beekeeper. Hexagon shaped barrel out of kingwood (beall pen wizard). Cap is etched aluminum and the clip nickel silver.
With apologies, still trying to work out how to post pictures!

Excellent, Well done. Three intricate and difficult parts: The hexagon, etching and clip! Love it.

That is a nice achievement !!!!

If you could elaborate, or give some references, about your etching process, that would be greatly appreciated, please !

I like how the clip is a bee's wing. Very clever and nice work.

Very nice! The hex shaped body is a great touch! Great job, that is a one of a kind pen that will bee treasured.

Thanks, Check out the work of Brad Gotthard in the library and on Youtube. Everything I learned about Aluminum I learned from there.
