Silver Majestic Malachite
I have a special reason for making these Silver pens which I will share at a later time.
Meanwhile here is a Majestic in Malachite with Silver fittings, the Wooden Ink symbol on the clip is my registered trade mark.
The making of this pen started by a sheet of paper with a rough sketch of the parts, and then measurements for each part were added. Then started the drilling and turning and finishing, the finish is micromesh all the way and car polish.
Most difficult part was making the finials, and even more difficult the putting together, because the parts are slip in, so they must be CA'd into postion-difficult part is putting enough but not too much CA so it does not squelch out every where. The supplier of the kit was Silver Pen Parts, a big thank you to Mike--he really understands what pen making is about and goes into detail (via email or skype) so that you get the correct kit and info.

I love the pen Amos that green Malachite is a supurb looking colour and I look forward to using that stuff somewhere down the track.
The funny thing is I think I have a piece already but I am sure it doesn't look that good.
Once again well done Amos nice job
Cheers Ian

Another absolute stunner mate, love that blank and the combination of the custom kit. Do like your corporate image impression stamped into the clip.
You are really leading the way with new ideas

You have certainly gone to the next level Amos, Nice customizing with the clip and the Green Malachite is amazing. I have a piece of it myself but like Dorno I don't think it looks as good as your piece. Absolutely stunning
Cheers

Darren and Dorno, if it is the Tru Stone Malachite I am sure it will shine up just as good as that one, give it a go!
