Pāua Abalone ballpoint

[Joe Aliperti]

Luther Bryant made this beautiful blank from Pāua Abalone strips cast in resin. I paired it with a Sienna ballpoint from CSUSA in black titanium plating.

Thanks for looking!

Beautiful pen! Of course we expect nothing less from you!

[Mark Hubl]

Sweet pen. Did you cast it? When I first looked I thought it was a staved barrel. Very cool.

Joe,

Nice marriage on the materials and great craftmanship! Well done Sir!

[John Keeton]

Ahhhhhh.....!!!! Another Aliperti pen! I have no urge to do pens, but everytime I see one of your beautiful photo setups, and the beautiful stuff you do, there is this little, tiny, almost nondescript feeling I get.....hmmmmm..

It's only money John.......

[Christopher K. Hartley]

It's only money John.......Good point Ken, after all this is the Abyss!!:eek:

Joe, congrats to both of you on a great combo work.:)

[Steve Schlumpf]

That is cool! I can just imagine rotating that under a light source! Very nice work Joe! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Joe what a beautiful pen.

[Robert McGowen]

You set the bar pretty high with your pens, Joe. Nice job!

There is no end to the diversity of what you'll think up next, I think. I am curious...do you sell most of these great creations, or are you a serious pen-collector and can't let go of these creations you've done! At least it takes up less space than the bowls/HF/platters we have around the house!:eek:

Superb job Joe!

[Roger Chandler]

Wow, that is really pretty! Superb craftsmanship!

Thanks for the nice comments!

Luther Bryant did the casting. I just turned, polished, and assembled the pen.

John.... the pen vortex is calling you! Great use for all those small scraps you have around the shop! ;)

Thanks. I do sell my pens through my website and in local galleries.
