I like that... nicely executed
It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

That one has finesse written all over it, no wonder she ordered another. Amos

Carefully crafted, well balanced, neat, finished well, altogether a package to be proud of. Really top idea.

Very nice piece of workmanship, is the pen made from a desk pen kit or a twist pen kit. Have a feeling I am going to steal the design.

That's nice...
Is that a std streamline pen kit? If so, it matches very well. Like the plinth too
Cheers,

The pen is a standard streamline (from Brett)
the pen trumpet (?) was from Trend (I think)
The base is a piece of MDF trimmed on the table saw to whatever angle it was (15 or 20 degrees maybe) painted black, sassi stuck on, then ubeaut's shellacregards
