Modified Parker-style double click ballpoint pen. Large pen, about same size as an El Grande. |
My version of the modified Slim-Line pen. There is a standard metal tip buried beneath the wood at the tip. This makes a stronger pen, and prevents the wear and breaking that I had experienced with a solid wood tip. That allows me to use softer woods like the Eastern Red Cedar in the near pen in the photo. The one behind it is Golden Desert Ironwood. |
This is a Russ-Line with the same hidden clip attachment. |
And, it also works in plastic. |
September 1, 2003. The modified "AmeroClassic" snap cap pen that was my submission for membership into the Pen Makers Guild.
Pencrafting has come a long way in the past 7 years. While innovative at the time, this pen wouldn't be considered for Guild membership in 2010. |
The next generation of the "Closed" pen is based on the Ameroclassic "Snap Cap" kit. This was my first effort at closing the cap and recessing the clip. They are a nice pen that is handicapped by an inferior cap closure. |
Another view of the same pens. |
