It's a shame we can't get member feedback on each of these suggestions. Something like a thumbs up or thumbs down vote by each of the IAP members. Looking at my suggestions from yesterday I'd obviously be in contention for most thumbs down :)

I am visualizing that as the base part for a desk pen with a contrasting material for the shank - say a statesman or jr statesman. A long cove from the center down to about a 1/3 rd point from the bottom then catch those swirls -

An explosion of light -- like a "Meteor Shower" at twilight

Since I never win -- will have to invest in some of that --- already have the hardware waiting --

Hey Ken,

IF you make that, PLEASE send me a picture. It sounds REALLY COOL!!!
 
I don't want to inhibit creativity, so I will not comment on the various names, until tomorrow.

However, answering a few questions and making one observation:
1) Yes, this will be predominately used for flat work --- pendants, tops of compacts, desk mags, etc. Although I expect Ed Davidson will show us that it makes a very stunning yo-yo, as well. Apart from cost, it would make a great "Kaleggoscope".

2) Being 2" in diameter, it COULD be cut lengthwise to make 2 or 4 pen blanks. But I would not recommend this. PRESENTLY, I can only purchase it in this size -- this too could change.

Now, on to "naming considerations": Most likely, those who BUY the material will use the name we choose when SELLING the products. Most products will be geared toward women's jewelry. Visualize yourself, holding a very nice looking pendant and presenting it to a lady as a jewelry item, will your name for it prompt her to WANT it?
That's another goal.

Hey Bruce,

SHE'S good!!

Sorry about you losing your freedom, hope you got the house cleaned up while she was gone!!
 
Ed -- I already placed the order for the "Meteor Shower" base material and my design consultant is suggesting a blackwood or ebony pen body to go with it -- I have learned (slowly) to take her suggestions as orders to keep domestic tranquility - and besides I have already proven she has good taste (she picked me -- right). As additional proof, she really want something out of your Zebra Blank --

I will turn the base and finish it before deciding on the pen body in any case -- she may change her directions when she sees the cap/desk unit.

I am going through the collection of pin chucks and expansion chucks to see if I have one that will fit. -- Kens rule of thumb is what ever you want to do will require at least one additional piece of equipment/gear to accomplish.

I knew it. I just knew it.

For those following this, the picture Ed posted of this rod isn't 2 shaded due to light... I'm not sure my finished photo shows it any better, but the background behind the dots is multiple shades. It's REALLY cool in person.

I'm sorry Ed, but I truly believe that if I was holding a bottle stopper that had a tiger look to it and, 2" of gearth, and it was called "Big Poppa Pimp"..my wife would buy it! :laugh:

Far as pendants..I don't think people are too interested in plastic pendants because they make you think of cheap imported merchandise, and if the blank is expensive, that could make a pendant counter productive. Or I'm totally wrong. Me..I'd rip the blank for pens.
