El Toro(Little Havana)

[gerryr]

After seeing the Little Havana pen that Fangar got in the Pen in the Hat exchange I just had to make one. This is a Platinum El Toro from BB with Oak crotch from Wayne, CA finish. I really like this style.

Comments, good or bad are welcome as usual.

Very cool. I am sitting here looking at mine as I type this. That is one nice piece of wood too!

How is it to hold? I have never seen one in person. It looks a little stubby, especially for big hands. BTW, great work, beautiful.

Thanks for the compliments.

Frank, I don't have very big hands and it would be difficult for me to write with it without the cap posted. With the cap posted it feels just fine. One cool thing about it is that there is only one set of threads so the grain always lines up.

Very nicely done!!!

I really like the Havana, and the short stubby fountain most of all.

What a great job! The Havana is a kit I don't see much of. I've made a few. NOt for everybodies hands that's for sure.
When I sit down to really write it is my pen of choice.
