As usual, very unusual and beautiful!

[Frank Van Atta]

Truly beautiful and elegant set of pens.

[John Pratt]

Fantastic collection of pens. I really like the feather pens. I have been looking forward to trying my hand at a few of these, but everytime I try to find the blanks, they are sold out at Exotic Blanks.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Beautiful work Joe! Quite the variety! The feather pens sure add a different texture to the mix! Really like the curly walnut - very classy!

Very nice photography as well!

[Jeff Hamilton Jr.]

Ditto what Steve said!

By the way, where are those kits from? Really like them . . .

[Jim Burr]

Good lookin' instruments Joe!! I like the Aero kits...they sell very quickly.

[Steve Kubien]

Very nice and excellent pics too. The pheasant-feather pen... What kit is this and where does one get it?

Cheers

[Joe Aliperti]

Thanks, guys!

Most of the hardware components are from CSUSA. The fountain pen nibs are from HeritanceNibs.

Thank you. The hardware for that one is an Imperial which used to be carried by CSUSA, but has been discontinued. IIRC, there is a supplier in Australia that still carries it, but I'm not sure which one.

Very nice pens. The carbon fibers have always bee a favorite of mine as well as the feathers. I have a feather blanks but I'm trying to get some practice before I tackle turning it. I laid off turning pens for quite a while, just recently got a little practice again. I need some more practice.

[John Keeton]

Joe, as always, looking at your pics is like looking at fine art!! You do some really nice work, and choose the most unique blanks for your pens - it makes a difference!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Joe those are beauties. Really elegant pens.

[Lupe Duncan]

Great Job Joe. They all look really nice.

[Donny Lawson]

Very nice. I really like the feather one.

[Mike Dillen]

Very nice looking pens. I especially like the feather and carbon fiber pens. One word of caution as I'm sure you already know is that when sanding or machining carbon fiber material to use a fine filtered resperator. Carbon fiber dust is probably more harmful to your health than any other dust particle you could come in contact with.

[John Merc]

As always great looking pens Joe. I really like the Prickly Pear skeleton in colored resin rollerball. Is that a Jr Retro from CAUSA? thanks

[Dan Hintz]

Mike,

You shouldn't be sanding down to the CF... if you do, time to chunk the blank.

[Russell Eaton]

Joe, that is another post of excellent pen turning. Thanks for showing. Russell

[Doug W Swanson]

Superb work once again....
