Desire in Irish Bog Oak & Sceptre in Buckeye Burl

[kyaggie]

Hello all,

Here are some shots of a Lazerlinz Stainless Desire wrapped by some almost black Irish Bog Oak and a PSI Rhodium/22 ct Gold Broadwell Nouveau Sceptre with a JoWo fine point steel nib (Meister Nibs) wrapped in Buckeye Burl. Both are finished with Wood Doctor's Pens Plus and the Microcrystalline Wax.

Thanks for looking,
Mike

IBO is one of my favorite woods and it really looks great on that component set. That said, the BEB on the N. Sceptre is spectacular. Great F&F on both pens. Well done.

Two very nice pens. Great fit and finish on both.

Thanks for the nice comments, folks! I am a HUGE fan of the Desire (and Liberty) from Lazerlinz... that solid stainless feels so nice and knowing it's US made and will never wear out is icing on the cake. That IBO Desire is for a good friend's retirement... the solid stainless just seems like a natural fit for 4000 year old wood.

This is the first Nouveau Sceptre that I have done and I'm impressed. The hardware feels very nice and it has a nice flashy design without going over the top (IMHO). Flashy hardware seemed to need some flashy buckeye burl! Just to make sure that I had changed the nib out correctly, I went ahead and inked it up (I used the converter to flush it out and then let the nib assembly stand on a paper towel to wick out the remaining water) and wow does that JoWo nib write smooth!

Thanks again,
Mike
