A sentimental one

[CjG78]

G'day!
Recently I had a customer drive to my house (2 hour drive) to see if I could customise her a pen with a jewellery item from her Recently passed mother. This pen was then a gift for the grieving father. Very humbled and touched she gave me creative licence so I chose this. Pheasantwood fully lined with ebonite, section and finish is satin ca. (Sanded to 1000 and that's it).
The rollerball 'nib' accepts fountain pen ink cartridges. (A request)
The lizard had some things to cut and bend, but I think I got it to look like it was hugging a tree.
Very memorable day.
Thanks
Casey.

Marvelous! Beautiful work.The Lizard is a very nice touch to it.

I commented in an earlier post and I will again. I am glad to see the adaption of CA into uses other than pure shine. I love the shine of CA, but it has far more functionality than just the shine alone. Thanks for the creativity! CA: Matt, satin, sheen, glossy shine, a variety of uses.

You did a great job and I think the wood choice is excellent. Looks like the critter belongs on that wood.

Beautiful work should be quite proud of this one, I agree with Hank the finish is top notch.

Great work all around. Will be a sentimental piece for many years.

Love the pheasantwood and the lizard looks great on the wood.

I like that very much. Your section incorporating the roller ball is perfect. Front page worthy for sure.

I always admire your work.

This pen is outstanding and well created and adapted with the spec you were given.

Superbly done, Casey !!!!

Please, I'd appreciate learning more about how you got a RB 'nib' to accept FP cartridges.

Is that a special RB part that you can buy ?

A very beautiful pen Casey. I think your customer's trust in you is certainly a well deserved tribute to your craftsmanship.
