Orange-Blue And Blue-Orange

[watvolk]

Just want to show 3 pens I finished last week.

 

First one has an ivory colored body and tortoise colored cap and comes with Bock (labeled Laban) 18k gold nib size M.

 

The others are made of orange and blue acrylic, one marbled and the other cracked design. Those also have Bock #250 nibs.

Hope you like it and your comments are most welcome. If you want to see more of my work, just take a look at my instagram account. https://www.instagram.com/saar.pen/

 

Kind regards,

Volker

Beautiful work... I am sure whoever gets these pens will love them forever... Now please, my comment is just my own opinion ..

 

I would have preferred if both orange and blue pens were completely made of the blue or orange material (no silver/gold middle piece)... and.. Just for my taste, I believe silver nib on blue and gold colored nib on orange are more suitable.

 

My opinion only.... they are still quite beautiful.

Beautiful work! I am curious what the nib on the first pen is.

Many thanks for your comments.

 

@ kapanak: The nib is made by Bock for Laban, it is an 18k-750 Gold size M.

 

@cyber6: Yes, it looks better if the grip has the same color as the barrel.

I am using the Bock sections because it is very easy to change the nib with feeder (screw type) and customer can buy additional nib units for a low price and change. Bock offers the grip in 7 different metal finishes as matte or shiny black, matte or shiny gold, matte or shiny chrome and Ruthenium. So I have to turn the Bock grip and make a bushing matching the pen.

Actually the pen has a Bock 23k-950 Palladium nib as expensive as an 18k Gold.

 

Kind regards,

Volker

I fixed that for you... !!!

 

 

Yes, it looks MUCH better... I understand is easier (and cheaper) with the bock nib/grip section... but you can't deny that now it looks much more elegant....

 

And Silver looks much better with Blue.

 

 

Good job...

Sorry, Cyber6, you're right Growing older day by day......

 

It is not much more expensive, just about half an hour work to turn the Bock grip to a diameter of 8.95mm, turn the acrylic grip, polish, drill 9mm and glue it.
