Hey everyone,

With my 500th post, I figured I'd post something really special.

Here is a Black titanium Jr. Gent fp, made out of marbled green ebonite. I sanded to 12000 then plastic polished, then oiled.

Don't just look, leave a comment or too! Thanks for commenting!:biggrin:

Nice blank but underturned. At least that is the way I see it. Maybe just the photo or that is the ay that kit looks. Thanks for showing.

Agree the photos look like it's overturned at both ends. Love ebonite and your finissh looks great.You say you oiled on the last step, what oil did you use?

Its weird. I will be honest, and say it is very slightly overturned at one end, but the other is not at all.
It is barely noticeable in person, but in the photo, it looks like a lot.

Roy, I just used mineral oil on it. After sanding it looks good, but the texture felt weird. I put oil on it and it softened up nicely.

I forgot to mention, its not done yet. I'm going to finish later tonight and post pics of it completed.

The ink stayed plenty wet, that is why the third pic is darker.

Nice. Ebonite always looks so sophisticated!

Thanks. Didn't you do a green ebonite pen awhile back?

 

[Mapster]

Looks great! Cool blank, and nice pen. Good job on 500 posts.

Pen looks good, I bet you did not know you had so much to say did you?

Nice blank but underturned.

Wouldn't that be classed as overturned?

 

[Great Googly Moogly]

keep it up

 

[bbuis]

The pen does look slightly overturned but beautiful none the less. I can't wait to get good enough to start on ebonites

 

[Dan26]

Love the green. Nice job!

 

[JBCustomPens]

Finished!

Same procedure.

 

[corian king]

Nice work!!

Yes! Thanks for remembering!:biggrin:

 

[Jgrden]

There is something to that pen that I like. I can't put my finger on it though.

 

[ThomJ]

Nice work. Is oiling ebonite help? New at some of these materials

 

[Jim Burr]

Gratz!! and it's a great effort for the occasion!!

 

[termitepenman]

Quality work. Great look.

It did for me. It helped soften it up and gave it a nice texture. YMMV

Thanks for comments.

I like the pen also. Send it to me and I will put my finger on it.

Congratulations on your latest post and your latest great looking pen.

Yes Skip, I meant to say overturned. It looks overturned on both ends to me. Have been working so much lately my mind is abit confused. I spend just a few minutes on each forum to get a quick look. Just needs to be abit more careful otherwise a nice blank.

 

[lwalden]

Nice work, and gorgeous blank- I would have pictured it paired up with a rhodium and 22K kit, though, instead of the black titanium it looks like you used.... was the shade of green off enough that it would have clashed with, instead of being complemented by, the gold?

 

[Rfturner]

great job

That's funny right there!:biggrin:

Ya, it didn't look that good with gold. I compared the too, it just looked to blingy.

Yeah, believe it or not though, it is hardly overturned at all. Mostly an illusion. Trust me.
