Gotta love the snow days...

Well, we currently have about 30 inches here and we are expecting about 8 more by this evening. Nothing better to to than spend some time in the shop, huh? Red Tru-Stone with closed end and SS fittings. It's hard to tell from the photo, but the CB is just a stering ring, to give more continuity throughout when closed. If planned a little better I would have done the same around the clip/finial, but it was too late after I assembled it. Not sure if I love the shape, but the extra material on either end of the body weight it very evenly which was important because it is a FP, and it is actually very comfortable to hold. All-in-all, I guess it's functional, still gotta work on those photo uploads though As always, comments and honest criticism are appreciated, it's the only way to improve :highfive:

I can't say that I agree with your title, but the pen looks great.

Love the pen, but you can have all of our Snow, Ice and Rain!!!I think snow sucks.

Yep, the snow sucks, if this is global warming then I'm buying myself a bigger car But at least with this much, and my weekend show canceled, I actually have an excuse to not be a productive member of society today, therefore giving me some time to play:biggrin:

Beautiful pen. But I don't agree with your title either.

I am not a fan of the shape, but excellent execution on the finish. I still don't understand how people can finish pens like this. I always (unintentionally) sand the sharp angles away.

Beautiful pen. Excellent worksmanship.
