Engraved brass pen

[jalbert]

I am throwing this in here because I did NOT make this pen. This is a solid brass fountain pen made by Franklin Cristoph, that I bought at the Baltimore pen show this year, with the intent of hand engraving. It is very thick walled, and therefore conducive to some deeper engraving techniques. Not too much to say about it: I wanted to mess with a few different techniques, and try a dot background instead of the usual stippled background. I probably have about 30-40 hours of work into it. It was fun and a good learning experience. I have included a "before" picture as well.

I am happy with it. Like with most everything we make, there are things that I would probably change up if I had to do it over, but over all i am pleased with the result. I spent a lot of time re-doing the background so it had beads instead of being stippled, so that was definitely worth the extra time.

Mind boggling. Congratulations!

I'm speechless. I would be afraid to carry that around. May lose it!

 

[Bryguy]

Just "WOW"

 

[jalbert]

I'm speechless. I would be afraid to carry that around. May lose it!

It's too heavy to actually use for any significant period of writing, so no danger of that!

Like a painter or sculptor, you turned a promising 'blank' into a work of art. I love seeing your artistry.
