The Black Rose

[Timebandit]

I made 3 pens for Roy(Oklahoman) the other day, and this is one of them. This is the first of the Bock feeds for me to use. This is Black Rose Lucite with a #5 Bock feed and Nib. I am very happy with the way this one turned out, and really like these#5 feeds and nibs. They have a little tab that stops the nib at the perfect spot. With this nib in a Heritance feed the Germany under the Bock is covered up by the section. In the Bock feed the nib sticks out farther, making it look longer and more like a #6 nib in length. This material was hard to photograph. Is black with reds swirls in it.

All Comments Welcome

Thanks For looking

Very nice. I really like that bullet shape you have given it.

 

[Drstrangefart]

That might just be the favorite of your recent pens for me.

 

[OKLAHOMAN]

Up close and in person I guarantee you all need to be jealous, this is my new desk pen.

Justin, you've done it again, and thanks for the information about the Bock nib in a Heritance feed. You are finally pushing me into the realm of kitless, and I'll probably go to sleep at night cursing you <LOL> wondering why it looks so easy coming from you!!!!

Very nice pen. I know i'm jealous Roy got that nice pen.:biggrin:

 

[Woodlvr]

I really like the bullet shape also. Ken I hope that you get a headache too:wink:
One of these days I hope to improve my pen turning enough to attempt a kit less pen.

Thanks! We will see yours soon enough im sure!

Beautiful. Need to buy the tools to do this.

Thanks!

There are 3 main tools you will need for this(at least if you use my method) and you might already have all 3.

1) A variable speed wood Lathe(which you probably already have)
2) A woodchuck Penpro(easily attainable)
3)Desire(only you will know if you have this or not)

Other than that a few taps and dies and drill bits and you are good to go.

WOW... I have a new favorite. Nice job.

Thanks!! Looks like its a lot of peoples favorite!

Justin, Everytime you make a make a pen that I think is my all time favorite...you go and mess things up by making this beauty:biggrin:. Shame on you:biggrin:. It's gorgeous..I like the extent of the curvature on the front section. I think the pictures are great with the colors showing nicely. Regards, Doc

Thanks Doc!! This was the first one i made with the #5 Bock feed and nib. The feeds are longer, so i had to extend the front section 1/8" in front and a little in the back as well. I like the way it turned out. I also like the feed units themselves. They only let the nib be pushed in the perfect amount. You cant screw it up. It also makes them look more like the #6 in length. And this one felt very good in the hands. I hope Roy will use it for many years to come. He is putting it through its paces now:biggrin: And im glad i found you a new favorite, and that the pics came out great. Its hard to tell how others will see them looking at my screen.

I've been saving a black rose blank and wondering what it'll look like. Now I know--beautiful! That is one gorgeous pen!

 

[firewhatfire]

I dont know how I missed this thing. A lucky recipient there. Looks amazing in photos, some day maybe I will see one in person.

Was just wondering what the overall length is?
And how long the blank needed to be?


Great work getting those red line/swirls to come out in the photo....that is an amazing thing to do! And the pens shape......I'm not a pointy end guy, but you actually made it look good.

Scott,

This pen is right at 6" capped. I believe the blank was around 8.5-9" long total.

The red lines were really had to get to stand out, so i am happy that you can see them as much as you can!!

Thanks again!!
