    Default Commissioned Art?

    Recently, Ilija and I worked out a deal for a trade. My end of the bargain was to make a pen (one of my many hobbies). The pen he requested was a Fountain Pen, with silver-toned parts, finished in CA. This was my first pen finished in CA, and I ran into some problems with accidentally gluing the pen to the mandrel. This was also my first commission, so I thought I would show it off to all of you on his behalf. Here are the pictures.

    Cap on back, pen open.

    Okay, all you fountain pen lovers, have fun drooling. PM me if you wanna work something out. I can also do ballpoint, rollerball, and pencils too!
