Exotic Zebra and Wayne's Cocobolo

[gerryr]

First is a Black Ti Baron fountain pen made from Exotic Zebra lucite.

Next is a Jr. Stateman rollerball from a piece of Cocobolo I got from Wayne. There were two gorgeous knots in it until it got down to about .7" in diameter and they disappeared, but it's still a really nice piece of wood. Finish is CA. The photo doesn't really show it very well, but there is a very slight taper and flare at the end.

Comments are welcome as always.

Very nice job. I like the black lucite the most.

Gerry,

Great work. I would be hard pressed to choose between the two. I like the shape you give your closed end pens, and will likely try to come close to it the next one I do.

Violet colored face too?

Great looking pens.
Did you blacken the inside of the Lucite, or the tube?

Looking good!

 

[gerryr]

Harry, I didn't color the tubes or the inside of the blanks. I got this material the first time Andrea advertised here and, from what I've read, I believe the black color is much more dense in what I got then as opposed to what people are getting now.

Great looking pens. That Black TN with the lucite is a knock out!
