Pelikan Binde?

[DrCodfish]

Somewhat related, I should have mentioned that I commissioned Shawn to create a pen (FP) pencil and rollerball set which will be a gift (part of a gift) for my son when he graduates college later this year. You can see pics of the set here, though you will have to wade through part of the thread to get to the pictures.

 

It was an absolute pleasure working with Shawn, and also T M Lee making their part(s) of this gift set for the soon to be graduate. He is set to get his PHD probably in December, I should have my part done by then.

Cracked Ice, how apt for a Glaciologist!

 

I'm sure Shawn will do his utmost.. which is his usual..

"Cracked Ice, how apt for a Glaciologist! I'm sure Shawn will do his utmost.. which is his usual..'

 

I wasn't certain what to expect, but we talked it through every detail and he hunted up a variety of materials for me to choose from before he turned a wheel on the project.

 

Do his utmost? The finished products far exceeded even my greatest hopes, see for yourself:

 

 

 

I am confident that the connection between 'cracked ice' writing instruments and the Glaciologists trade will not go unnoticed. I just hope there are still glaciers to climb and investigate when he's my age.

I wish I had taken better pics of it finished before shipping it back. Oh well.

[Horseknitter]

Really amazing transformations, Shawn! Makes me want to get creative with some of my Pelikans.

Thanks for sharing!

Just sent you an email. One of my M800 deserves some customization.

Can you do other sizes? Like a 600 or even better a 1000?

[watch_art]

A 1000 would be no problem. I haven't looked at the 600 yet.

Are the new bindes permanently attached?

[watch_art]

They're all just friction fit. They'd have to be cut off to be removed though.

Hmmm, I see where Perry is coming from... Would be nice to have a switcheable binde, something like the Lamy Accent Brillant,

That fish-bone pattern is very '30's. I have a Luxor with similar that was under the silver overlay.

 

The overlay came off so I had to sweat a diluted shellac mixture under the overlay. That was when I found out it was a fish-bone pattern.
