Ebonite wedge pen - I was always told in art school to cut things up and see what happens.

Thanks Mal the design was inspired by 1930 lipstick tubes which I collect. I set out to cut the pen so I cant remember what the cap looked like - please make your own cut type pen but make it your own design do something different make it you own - the green is ebonite - look forward to seeing your design - Jake

Hi Jake .... I am unclear what you mean by a "cut type pen". . Do you have a minute to explain, please. . Maybe the term refers to cutting the top off the cap, for example, and inserting a contrastingly colored piece like you did with the green ebonite.

Hi John I've made about 15 pens in ebonite and have not seen any change of colors or darkening yet :)

Thanks brad - some more pics - not the best I will set up the light tent sometime.
I'm thinking about making a stand to go with this pen.
