Some New Pens

[James Combs]

Made these pens over the past few days. All the wood ones have a CA finish.

T-Gold Slimline dressed in Tasmanian Black Wood (Must be the blackish streaks that some of it has??)
Chrome/Satin Chrome Elegant Sierra dressed in KY Oak tobacco stick wood.
T-Gold Cigar pen dressed in curly maple. (better picture of the curl below)
T-Gold & black Titanium Sierra dressed in a "worthless wood" cast blank (Claro Walnut Burl)
Chrome Slimline Dressed in Asian Walnut.

James, I REALLY like the cigar with the curly maple. Your transitions look VERY tight, not an easy task. Also, I think the curl looks great; too much mor would overpower the pen in my humble opinion. I like the Sierra in walnut next best; though I have to say (I've made a whole bunch of that style 'cuz they're easy!) they are not the most comfortable writing instruments to me. Overall really good looking penmanship :-)

Great set James...it's all good. I do like the lower flare you do on your slimlines, I may have to 'borrow' that. Looks like it would be very comfortable to hold. I have a couple of the Comfort bands I bought to go with some slimlines, so I'll have to give that a go.
I think my favorite, based more on the wood, is the Sierra with Kentucky Oak. I like the streaks.
