Blue Jean Pen

[Gregf]

After my SO's father passed, I wanted to make a remembrance pen for her and family members. Asked for a pair of his blue jeans. Discovered that the regular Sierra pen doesn't have enough meat for the thickness of the material so I used the Broadside from Drop Anchor. I borrowed the button idea from JohnU.

That turned out Great Greg! Not to mention a very nice act of kindness. I'm sure every time they look at or use it will inspire fond memories.

Very well done. I would like to see closeups of the pen as well. Nice job.

The seam is under the clip, but respectable anyway. The ends blend together naturally. Tube painted black. CA glued.
The fabric darkened with the glue.
Managed to sand the button down and not my fingers.
