This is a pen that I turned awhile back, but the image wasn't great so I gave it a refresh. This is a Turntpen Co blank called Bog Monster. A beautiful blue and white gold blank.
An older one I freshened up

That is a beautiful pen and blank. I am not familiar with 'Turntpen co'. I love the closed end - very nice and well done. Your profile for this pen is excellent. Many times I just don't like the extreme edges, but yours flows nicely. Very nice work.

Thank you Mark, Tim is a school teacher, pen maker, blank maker out of New York. He offers a vast array of Alumilite blanks all are fantastic. I could easily go "kid in a candy store" on them, but started casting my own as buying them at $15 + dollars a blank eats into my profit margin substantially.

Lovely Pen!
I have a Bog Monster blanks waiting to be turned. I am pretty sure I purchased it (along with I won't say how many others) from Turnt Pen Co shortly after you first posted pictures of this pen or one like it. Have you turned his Absinthe Abalone blank? So far, my favorite.

Thank you, I have not turned Absinthe Abalone, I had to taper off buying blanks $$, but all of his are SO good, you can't go wrong.

I will try to get a capped image probably later today and I will post in this thread. This pen is a longer pen, definitely a desk pen. One of my very first pens good enough to sell, but before I adjusted the size a bit.

Nice Pen! One of the places you might be able to get to know Tim and some of his other penmakers is via the podcast 'As the Pen Turns'. They do an interview podcast every other one. Tim was highlighted on Episode #20. They have interviewed lots of pen makers over the 3 years or so the podcast has been going. The podcat covers everything from pen making to preparing for selling your work. Worth a listen! https://www.thepenturns.com/episodesThank you Mark, Tim is a school teacher, pen maker, blank maker out of New York. He offers a vast array of Alumilite blanks all are fantastic.

I really liked this one when you first turned it.
