Baron FP

[WoodChucker]

This is the Baron Fountain pen that I told you about in the other post, where I didn't use the gold and black rings. I think it still looks ok. It's made from a maple Burl and finished with friction polish.

R.T.,
I haven't done any Baron pens yet; so I really cannot comment on if the pen misses the rings. It is a beautiful pen, very nicely done.

I have done several Barons and it is fast becoming one of my favorite kits. The way that you did this one IMHO adds a touch of class to a fine pen. Sometimes the rings can distract from the wood. Good job.

Cleaner, more elegant look. Great job!

Very nice looking pen RT. Your client will never know you shorted them parts, unless you tell [] I also noticed, the spring in the end cap is gone as well [] If your client wants this pen as a rollerball, your going to have to find one [] Good Job.

Looks good to me. Nice work.

Nice pen but the lighting is all wrong[]

R.T.--that's a great looking pen. The lack of rings does not detract from the appearance in the least. In fact, it's a cleaner, smarter look. Anthony...you're right about that spring. The kit parts as packaged force you to select one style or the other. I think a suggestion to Bill B. is in order.

RT---Great looking pen---I think it flows very nicely!!! Good work!!

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks everyone, appreciate the comments!

Anthony, yeah I think that sucks about the spring. I just wonder if the ink cartage will stay in place without the spring? What a mess that might be. I didn't measure it, is there enough room for the spring to even be in there when using this kit as a FP?

Eagle, that's hitting below the belt! []

Very nice looking pen.

Very nice work R.T.

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks guys!

 

[DCBluesman]

R.T.--the ink cartridge is friction fit. The spring would add nothing to the connection.

 

[WoodChucker]

OK, thanks Lou!

RT, that's one heck of an "oops" pen. I hope all of mine come out that good!

 

[wayneis]

It may be a nice option to be able to sell a Barron or Jr. Gent/statesman that is both a fountain and a rollerball. I haven't measured it but I don't believe that leaving the spring in would prevent you from using a pump but using a cartridge would be noproblem.

Thanks Jim & Wayne! Appreciate the the comments and advice.

Very nice RT . I've never made one of those either so I can't say about the missing rings . All I can say is that it looks great as it is !

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks Doug!

Although the pen might look a bit different with the washers in place, I'm not sure that I'd like it any better...it's a nice piece of work, RT.

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks Bill, appreciate the comments!

 

[wpenm]

R.T. It looks great to me. I have only made one Baron, so I did not notice anything missing.

 

[WoodChucker]

Thanks Garry! It's a nice kit, I'm sure you'll do more. []
