A Big Step for a Newbie

[Chief TomaToe]

First of all, happy Easter to everyone! I haven't shared a pen on here yet since I signed up, but I wanted to share a pen that pushed myelf a little harder. I decided to go with a gun metal Vertex fountain pen in buckeye burl. There will little hiccups here and there, but I've learned lots of tips and tricks on here that helped me along the way!

I'm pretty satisfied with my work on this pen, at least given my skill level.

Nice job, you can't go wrong with gunmetal or buckeye burl. I use a gunmetal Vertex FP as my daily driver at my job.

Very nice pen!! Been a while since I turned Buckeye Burl--might be time to do one.

Looks good to me. Buckeye is one of my favorites.

We have made a few vertex rollerballs. May have to give the fountain pen a try.

Very well done.
Looks like you have your finishing technique nailed.

Yup! Well done; and a pen to be proud of. Blank has plenty of character, and the fit and finish is excellent.

The pen looks good Ronnie! Your skill level may be higher than you give yourself credit for.
