This Pelikan is a 350, which is the tiniest one that I've yet to work on. In this first pic it's next to an 800.
A client liked two different materials that I had and wanted them combined to make a banded binde.






And this next pen is a Namiki Vanishing Point in an orange swirl material.



I love my job.

GOOD LORD!! Those are beautiful!!

You do Vanishing Points too?! Holy cow.. *looks at plain Black VP..*

STUPID RETAIL JOB!!


I love your job too!!

I was thinking I would love your job too . Not that I'd be good at it, but that's another matter isn't it...

I think that both pens are striking. The banded M350 looks especially good to me in the uncapped photo.

Thanks for sharing your creations. Can't wait to see what you do with my Pels!

Holymoly! Chris, this is getting bad, if you're doing VPs now too....

Never been so tempted, yet...

Thanl you for sharing, or maybe not .

Warmest regards, Wim

Love that VP!!!!!!

Gasp! Help! can't...breathe...must step away from monitor...gasp...need money, need lots of money...want to hear chris call me that sweet name...my client.

The Pelikan is quite unique, Chris! The VP is gorgeous! Talk about an aftermarket waiting to happen...

best, Dan

and another (completed this afternoon) Vanishing Point.
The material for this one might look familiar to you Omas fans. It's the blue with black veined stuff that they used for their Paragons. Blue Royale?




have fun,
Chris (still loving my job)

Stunning!

i love my red VP, I love my red VP, I love my...

hmm... not sure it's working...

Oh no, that's hard!

I have to turn away, don't look, don't look



Warm regards, Wim

OK Chris, can the Namiki be done in wood... and if so what size wood blank do you need...
As you know I am a pen turner, and I have some really sweet blanks for the pens that I do... I might have access to some really really nice snakewood soon.
If I make some money at the DC Show this year, I think I am going to have to commission a custom VP from you...

Chris, will you marry me?

It'd be fun to do one in wood. I've been meaning to get some stabilized wood blanks to play with, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Sorry, but my wife says "no".

Darn, but I guess my husband will be relieved

Elaine and Chris, go back and edit these last posts so that Elaine can show the thread to hubby, who will then immediatly bless the new pen expenditure!

LOL

Beautiful...

Hi Chris,
I really liked the blue black VP it's lovely You are doing great job on the pens.

Chris, the royal blue celluloid VP is simply stunning. The others are gorgeous also.
