"The 4 Metals"

[John Terefenko]

For the first time appearing together The 4 Metals. These are the 4 different metal sleeved blanks I have been casting using clear poly resin. They are from left to right braided brass, braided stainless steel, braided copper, and finally a weaved chrome. I want to thank all that have followed my presenting these in photos as I made them. And as always any comments or questions are always welcomed.

John - just amazing work! Love them all!

[Bernie Weishapl]

John like them all but the copper just pops out at me.

[Frank Van Atta]

Very nice group of pens.

[John Keeton]

Just excellent work. I have enjoyed seeing these as made, and while the copper is my favorite, as well, the chrome is a close second.

[Skip Spaulding]

Guess I'd have to pick all four as my favorite! Great pens!!

[Steve Mawson]

All look like EXECUTIVE PENS to me. Very unique and well done.

[Stephen Naylor]

Who sells these blanks? I really want to buy a set of them.

Thanks a lot.

[John Coloccia]

How do you make those? Very nice.

I have to agree, the copper ones look so nice.

John,

Where are you getting those kits? The bands are really nice, and I don't recall ever seeing a copper kit in my catalogs (I like the clip style on the chrome one, too).

[James Combs]

Those are some fantastic creations. I have to agree on the copper one, it is gorgeous, and I never use that word unless it is about a female.

[Bob Bergstrom]

Pen turning has certainly come a long way since the slimline wrap in a nice wood. Great job and all are beautiful.

[Thom Sturgill]

V-e-r-y Nice. The brass is a little too yellow for my taste, a little redder would be better, but i know you have to work with what's available. My favorite is the chrome, I think it would look fantastic with the black titanium, thought the copper appeals to my inner geek.

[David DeCristoforo]

Those are some really nice looking pens. It's hard to come up with something "original" in the pen making arena but you have done it with these! BTW I'm going with the stainless steel one. Send it on...

[John Terefenko]

I see this post has been revived. Thanks all for the great comments. I hope I answered everyone's questions.

I get these at Bear Tooth Woods http://www.beartoothwoods.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=21&osCsid=ca62f1e4223ba484053a17cd68289480 Not sure if I am allowed to put the link. This site is strange some times with rules.

This site is strange some times with rules.
The link rule is pretty straightforward, actually. No linking to your own sites is 90% of it. 1% is not linking to "unwelcome" stuff (e.g., porn), and the other 9% is not linking to sites with the intention of pushing an agenda (site owned by a close friend, etc.). A few select members get away with having others mention their sites or products, mainly because they offer useful items for the people here at good prices, and they don't push it themselves.

[John Terefenko]

I guess I was OK then. I got a post removed or at least it may have been moved when I asked about logos. Being I am not a contributer I can not see if it is in the classified section or not. There was some good links in there I wanted but was unable to remember who sent them so I will not see them again. I try to do the right thing but sometimes can't remember all the rules. Thanks for the explanation.

[Dan Hintz]

Hmmm, if it was the thread I'm thinking of, I replied to it and suggested a site for logo design I've used in the past.

If that be the case could you send me the link or name via my PM. I don't think there are rules against that.:) I did post it in the Off Topic Forum.
