I just finished this earlier today. It's a custom bulb filler FP that was commissioned. A lot went into this design. Some of you might remember my recent bulb filler prototype (http://www.penturners.org/forum/f13/custom-bulb-filler-prototype-127375/). Well here is its #1 production model. All trimmed down and much better looking.

I had artistic freedom on this project so I tried to go all out. I chose to go with my Combustion along with a translucent orange ink chamber and clip inlay.

Dimensions:

Capped: 5 3/8" ~ 137mm
Cap: 2 3/8" ~ 60mm
Body: 3 1/4" ~ 83mm
Body & Nib: 5 1/16" ~ 129mm
Posted: 6 1/8" ~ 156mm
Ink Chamber: 2 1/4" ~ 57mm
Section: 3/4" ~ 19mm

Threads:

Cap/Body: 12x.08mm Triple Start
Body/Section: 9x.75mm
Ink Chamber/Body: 9x.75mm

Nib & Ink:

#6 Two Tone Jowo - F
Bulb Filler - #14 ink sac

Here's a bit on what I did for the clip inlay:

The final dimension for the inly was just under 3mm in diameter and only 1mm thick!

A very fitting pen for my 5000th post I might add :biggrin:

Thanks for looking!

Jonathon, I must say you did a terrific job on this one. I, personally, am not a fan of the ink window, but I suspect I am in the minority. Your blanks have such amazing swirls and depth that I hate to see it broken up.
