hi!
I get so little time in the shop, This year I've done maybe 4 pens only.
And when I got 20 spare minutes I sometimes make the mistake to try to squeeze a pen in... well, at least there is the pleasure of turning wood...
here they come:
gold sedona fountain pen with amboyna burl. I think this is one of my favorite woods and kits.
Although as I started using them I noticed that the cap untwists quite easily. and I mean unintentionally. do you agree? is it different when purchased from different suppliers?
this can be a big problem, particularly with a fountain pen!
exhibit 2:
amboyna burl on a sedona again, this however is on a chrome, or maybe silver: I didn't think of making a note of what I was using!
I however have an easy way to find out what it is, ll I need is an oxygen torch...
as a side note, I'm making a cameo appearance in this image. and you perhaps can figure out my photo set up from the pic.
photo 3:
this is the pen I squeezed in the 20 minutes: the acrylic is really gorgeous, the pearlescence is really nice, and I think you can kind of see it on the lower side of the pen. of course, when you hold it in your hand it looks always better.
you might notice some weird spacing issues going on around the center band. this is actually a Japanese technique i was trying out, called Ekatsim. just backwards. figure it out.
thanks for watching!
