Newton Pens - More Finished Pens

[Newton Pens]

Finally getting back into the swing of things in the shop. Got a few pens finished up. Have a couple more I want to photograph, but not until the clips are finished.

An Orville with flexy modded #8 nib, button filler.







An Eastman with aluminum rings. Made from honey and copper fire acyilcs. I love the ends.









A Gibby. This is made with Lava Flows red acrylic, black ebonite rings, and olive wood. One of my students put this color combo together. Why? Well it's her pen. Why? Traded for lots of babysitting. Her mom helped us arrive at a number of times to sit, much to her chagrin.

 

A wooden dip nib holder for a customer - finished this morning.

 

A black acrylic with sterling silver bands Townsend. Rhodium plated #8 18k nib.

A nice bright spring green and yellow Gibby. Made for the heck of it and sold with a roll stop installed.

I've seen a few of these on Instagram and FB already, and goodness, I'm impressed with your recent work. Those two Eastmans must have something like 20-some individual components each. Pretty darn cool, in my opinion.

 

I really like those circular roll-stops too

Thanks!

The Eastman above has 26 parts.

I can attest to Shawn's brilliance. He is so easy to work with -- he really wants to make *your* pen, not his pen. That Townsend looks sexy when closed. Nice!

I have two of his pens, two paid for and in the queue, and two more rods set aside for the next two after that. Waiting for the custom clips, Shawn!

I'm excited about the clips.

I am jealous of your Newtons! I do have my first Newton pen in the queue though and I am beyond excited. Shawn has been a pleasure to work with and patiently answered all of my questions even when I was probably annoying him by struggling to understand, haha.

I'm never annoyed.

It's always fun working with new customers and trying to figure out what we're going to make together.

It's also very comfortable in hand and has amazing XXF grind with golden spot so huge it almost feels larger than tip's surface area..

That yellow Eastman with aluminum rings looks stunning!
