Cumberland Kitless

It's a Cumberland Ebonite Kitless Fountain Pen with a Medium Point #6 Gilded Bock Nib. Had fun making it. Hope you like it. Doc

Wow another great looking pen Doc, good job. Working on my first componentless pen, ehhh going slow and a little rough. Might have to start over. But not giving up. Ebonite sure is hard to get scratches out. And yours look perfect

That's beautiful Doc. Got a real classic look.
It was only yesterday I Emailed SEM asking about supply of Ebonite. What tools do you use on it?

Don, Thanks so much for the kind words! If I told you what I went through to get that finish..you would think I'm nuts! Took a while but was worth it. Doc.

John, Thanks so much. I pretty much used carbide tools with round insert for every thing but the tenons. Was German Ebonite..tough, dense but workable. Doc

Awesome looking work of art Doc.

Thanks Gary! Doc

Modified Version

I kept looking at this pen yesterday..and it didn't seem right to me..basically I didn't like it. The clip seemed too narrow for the size of the pen. I really didn't like the gilded nib and the gold clip. I didn't like the shape of the section...I think that pretty much covers it.. So I changed it. Doc

I think not. You're doing just fine on your own.

Another very nice pen. I do like version 1.1 of this pen, version 1.0 was very nice also. The change in hardware plating was a nice move. Stop posting while I'm writing; I have a deadline to meet.:biggrin::biggrin::wink: Thanks for sharing.
Do a good turn daily!
