My Collection of fine pens

[Alex Elias]

And thick pens too. Since this is what I've done the most of I thought to put a link to my work. I hope I can make as many bowls, HF, and other beautiful thing like most of you show here.
I was happy with the pens till I came here and saw your things.
Thanks for looking

Alex,
For sure you have nothing to be ashamed of with your work!
Pens are amazing, finish and quality, one thing for sure you are not stuck in a rut....... many different styles and feelings for the pens.
Your boxes??? (as I call them) surperb! I really like the one with the M&M's, would make a nice ring box but then as small as it is it might be misplaced (like my wife's is all the time) as easily as a ring! is that top and rim ebony? great job on them.
Looking forward to seeing what you are doing in the future!

John the box with M&M's has the rim made of ebony you are correct.
Thanks again
Alex

Very nice grouping of pens Alex. I was especially impressed with the segmented styles where there were just a few pieces offering contrasting colors and figure. Did you do those glue-ups yourself or did the blanks come that way? Very striking.

Thanks for the comment. The kit comes from Craft Suplly USA and it's called panache. It comes in 10K gold, black and (Rhodium the one on the picture) there are all ball points but you could use the Jr jent fountain insert which is the same, as I did on the pen you show. Pretty unique looking pens.

Thank you for the comments too. The blanks there I glued up my self. Random angles and designs. The ones I called quilted as well, those are the ones made up out of buch of pieces of wood or acrilic. Also I've being casting lately, the cobra and rattle snake skins, coffee beans, sand, sponge, and bla bla bla. They are fun pens to make and they sell well.
Thanks again for looking

Alex,
your pens show outstanding attention to detail. I am especially interested in the Kallenshann pens. Did you expierence any assembly difficulty or poor fit? They gave me the hair pulling fits.

I've only made 2 of those pens and I found the fit to be good. Very tight (not as a negative) on the stripes, easy to fix with light sanding of the edges. The second thime arround I put it together in half the time. I liked it a lot. I will buy one more and keep the pen this time.
Thanks again for your nice comments
