A streamline El Grande with a Sterling Silver centerband |
Same pen with cap posted. The wood is Juniper |
This is as good as it gets, for now. I shortened the black rim as much as possible. This centerband also has a slimmer shape and still blends in nicely with the cap shape which is fattened just slightly to match the CB. |

Here is a Regency Rollerball, turned from a beautiful piece of quilted Quina (a.k.a. Argentine sandalwood). A wonderful wood to turn! I've started making the finials a little more parabolic rather than round, it's subtle but I like it better. |
This is a ballpoint Regency, made from pencil-line mesquite. It takes a standard Parker-style refill. Same construction as the rollerball |

| El Grande SL in quilted Quina. I'd never heard of that wood before, and figure like this is rare. What a fantastic piece of wood from Bob Baldwin. |

Berea's new acrylic acetate in a black-titanium El Grande. Spring colors!!! The mandarine orange and black titanium make a stunning combination, I am unable to capture the beauty fully in a picture with my level of photography. |

| Lessons learned: Avoid translucent materials, use a piece long enough to work properly, El Grande Streamline version with narrower band may look better |
