Another "Fernwood"

[gawdelpus]

This a special gift ,so did a special blank from fernwood pressure cast with red acrylic to fill all the voids and holes in the material. Been a busy few weeks for me and not much time for playing around with pens ,apart from my run of the mill Market pens ,which I don't normally have time to photograph before they end up in stock.Ah well all good :)

Kits are the Phoenix from "woodturningz" (http://www.woodturningz.com/Phoenix_Pen_Kits.aspx) interesting in that they taper from about 9/16"at the nib joiner down to about 31/32" at the clip end (thats about the size of the standard sierra bushes. It is a bit longer in the body as well ,but feels a good solid pen :)

john that is a special looking pen, i love the look of the black with white, and the red just gives it that bit extra :2tsup:
its allways nice to have a bit of time to do some fancy ones :)

Looks good John, I am sure the recipient will be pleased with that one.

How is the refill changed on that pen, does it unscrew, or does it pull apart like the Sierra ?

I wish someone would redesign the Sierra, so that the bottom section unscrewed to change the refill. I reluctantly keep making them, because they sell well.

Ironwood you can change the refill either way,pull apart like a standard sierra, or it unscrews just ahead of the fancy band , if you sell a lot of sierras these are the next class up I suspect . I like them as more material on show for the nicer blanks . I have yet to cast any blanks for them but I think will be good for embedded castings that need more meat on the body . Cheers ~ John
