Newton Pens - Pink Prototype

[Newton Pens]

This is a straightish Elizabethan with steel banding. The final version would have sterling bands. Big pen. 6 1/8" open, 6 1/2" closed.

Nice size for a desk pen.

Nice Shawn

 

I normally don't like pink (nothing to do with M/F), but works out very nice with that trim.

 

But why the ridges on the lower cap ring? I would make them all identical...

This is a prototype of a pen that will have sterling rings - those won't have the little tool marks on them. Hopefully I'll be making a few of these.

Are you tooling the silver yourself?

Yeah, for simple rings I do. I just buy silver sheet and drill it out, then go from there. It's a bit time consuming but quicker and cheaper than ordering it in.

I am intrigued by the bands. Beautiful!

 

OOO! Call it "The Orbit!"

Nice work! Pink isn't usually my color of choice, but you've chosen a fine shade of it for a pen; it has a sort of marmoreal elegance to it.

Thanks!
