Absolutely beautiful. You have way too much time on your hands.

Could you etch some lines on the body to simulate the quill lines?

Just beautiful! Almost looks liquid!

Theres a trick to that as ive found.

I chrome plate the piece first giving it that slick mirror like finish, and then give it a brush coat of 24ct gold plating. the chrome still shines through, giving you that lusterous liquid shine

Brad; Again, another home run !!! I think the K.I.S.S. theory applies here. Keep it simple stupid. You don't put fender skirts on a Roles Royce. Fantastic Craftsmanship !!! Jim S

Beautiful Pen,But I have to be honest I'm in awe of the skill set needed to build this
pen, Less is more and the simplicity of this is a statement in itself.
I am curious though,did you have curly hair when you started this ectotherm and plating stuff?JK!
nice work
