M800 With A New Binde

[sugna]

Shawn Newton's work is deservedly well known, both here on FPN and elsewhere, but I couldn't help but share my M800. It received a new binde in blue lizard celluloid. I think the result speaks for itself!

Very nice combination, thanks for sharing!

I think Shaun's binde work creates a very nice pen. You have a great collection Sugna

WOW. That is gorgeous!! Maybe it's time I snag myself an m600 one. Do you send him the Pelikan and he does the binde, or do you buy the whole thing from him?

You supply the pen, and then pick from materials Shawn has for the binde.

That is very beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful work. I'm still trying to decide what material to use for my binde!

[whichwatch]

Gosh, that blue lizard is just gorgeous! I may have to consider buying one of his Newtonized Pelikans!

Very nice new binde!! Enjoy it for years to come.

I am ordering one. The Blue Lizard material is very nice, but it doesn't float my boat. My M800 will get a binde in this stuff:

Should be a great match with the back cap and piston cone David. Please share when completed.

Wouldn't it be nice if Pelikan launched a 'mix and match' m400, along the lines of the Lamy Accent where you can swap barrels from day to day depending on whether you feel like briarwood, platinum rings, or pearwood...

Beautiful! Just got mine last Thursday! Can't stop looking at it! Shawn does great work. Now to find an M1000 and get a binde done on it!

That's purty!

Beautiful pen. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy

Congratulations! Your pen looks fantastic. Shawn Newton's work is outstanding.

[Lemony Cricket]

Beautiful! Like a mermaid :-)

[canibanoglu]

That really looks beautiful... Someday, maybe.

 

On another note, the angle of the first photo makes the pen look much, much smaller than a M800. I would have guessed M400 if you hadn't written M800
