== TWSBI Menlo ==


'''Joe Crace:''' It was hard for me not to go with – you know, I like the kind of the blue and the red, like my Menlo in the demonstrator style with the transparency. But I've seen some grays that look really sweet and mixing that with a little orange. I thought that would be a pretty cool look. I think I'm going to be real happy with how it turns out. I get back home tomorrow. I anticipate that it will be in my mailbox. So you will definitely see more pictures of it this week and inked up for sure and in use. And Joe, you have a Shinobi in process, in the queue.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' In the queue. I think I got an email from Sean about two weeks ago and he told me that it would probably be end of July. Okay. When mine should be ready to come.

'''Joe Crace:''' That's not too bad. So what are you getting on it? What's your style? So mine's just an acrylic, like a smoke gray acrylic and then like an orange clear acrylic for these sections. What do you have coming?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I went with the matte black ebonite in which I asked him to take a rod of black ebonite but not polish it. So it still maintains the matte black kind of rough finish. And I'm going to do a two-tone barrel and section with a dark, kind of dark red, even burgundy alumite material. What is that? I think it's a, it's not celluloid. It's a type of acrylic that I think there's companies here that'll make it. They can customize the color because Sean said he didn't have one in that color in stock, but he would talk to his supplier and they were actually going to make a darker red color of alamite, I believe. That's what he said. That's cool. So if you're, if you're in the market for, for a custom pen, you can really, you can really get any color you want. Yeah.

'''Joe Crace:''' Yeah. That's not the only custom you have coming. What you have something else that we've talked about on our, our custom pen show, one that I don't own, but it's definitely high on the list for me to look at in the future.
