Ancient river redgum

[simomatra]

Ancient river red gum in a stretch fountain pen with black Ti plating. Kit from Aaron at Lau Lau

The blank came from Neil at the last get together I was at on the Gold Coast, many thanks Neil it has turned out a beauty. It is off to Canberra to meet up with it rollerball partner made 12 months ago. The blank comes from a bog in Victoria, Australia and is extremely rare.

Usual sanding and polishing plus filling voids to 12000 MM then 20 coats of WOP
wet polishing with MM then Autosol.

The nib has been upgraded to a medium nib form Heritage, part of the bulk buy, Thanks Russell for all the organising. The bulk buy was on the Oz forum.

Gorgeous pen Sam, making the barrel profile straight is the way to go with this kit.

I sure do like the Zens. I can't wait for CSUSA to get them back in stock. Great looking pen!
