re-stylized slimline pens

[pittswood]

Without taking anything away from Peter and his fantastic shaped Slimline's, I had ago at turning a few, on his lines, of slimline's. Not to good to start with. Some of the clips did not line up with the grooves, but that's a minor adjustment on my part.
They feel better in the hand than others I have done in the past, so could sell quickly.

Kelvin, can I make a suggestion?

 

[pittswood]

No problem.

Nice job Kelvin. I like this style of pen even though I don’t make them myself. Looks like something you’d instinctively want to pick up. I hope they sell well.

Really nice idea...well turned...well done

 

[alan morrison]

No problem.

Kelvin, your pens would look better if you used the Streamline centreband, or a shop-made one....something that would line up more with the two barrels.
This is just my opinion and not a criticism.

I will look into them Alan. Many thanks.

The broader slimline pens always evoke a Marmite response Kelvin, the world would be boring if we all liked the same things.

I like them and the shape has a great effect of wanting to pick it up and feel/touch them. but that's possibly me having a wood fetish.

Likewise Eamonn, likewise, touchy, touchy!

Kelvin, I have zero problem with the pen barrel dimensions I prefer them with a bit of meat on the bone.
My only comment was on the slimline centreband which, to me, make your pens look constricted in the middle.
To each their own. As Eamonn @silver says....if everyone all liked the same thing it would make for a boring world.

Nice pens Kelvin. Nowt wrong with adding a bit of shape.
Mine sell ok.

They look good to me I like adding a bit of shape.

I have made many Slimlines with shape. You either love them or hate them but don't stop trying.
Here are a few of mine from the past.
