Classic Vintage Fountain Pen from Smitty

[Band Saw Box]

Here is one of the Classic Vintage Fountain Pen's I got for my 1st place kit pen at the MAPG.:biggrin: Smitty donated them, thank Smitty.:wink: The blank is double dyed maple I bought from Jonathon (Brooks803.:wink: These are really nice component pen's, they do require a tenon to be cut in the cap blank but other the that it a easy pen to make. All C & C are welcome.

Very nicely done! At least it's an "easy" tenon: take it to brass! Nicely finished and nice pairing! I just finished one of these for a Vanderbilt graduate in black and gold (blank cast by me). I'll put up some pics later.

Sweet. I like the finish.....what did you use? The color of the wood pops.

Thank you Clark and Dick for those very nice cmments. Dick I used Woodturners Finish (WTF).

Brain; Thank you so much for your wonderful comments.

That's very nice. I would have bet that was a CA finish the way it shines.

The only thing I would say as a criticism is on your photos. If you crop them, they'll fill the picture & show up better. Your photos otherwise look very good.

EDIT: The 3rd picture actually, looks about the right size, just a little too much dead space on the sides. Try turning the pen at more of an angle. Maybe a bit closer to 45 degrees.
