A Few Fountains

[Ironwood]

This one is a Gold Baron in Queensland Myrtle, finished with blo/ca.



The next two are for a lady to choose from, she wanted a silver fountain pen in burl, with a natural finish. She doesnt like the shiney plasticy look of CA. I used an oil, topped with Hut wax.

This one is a Chrome Sedona with Cooktown Ironwood Burl.



This one is a Rodium Jr Victor in Red Mallee Burl.

Thanks guys, I enjoyed turning the last 2 the most because I could use a simple finish, I dont have much fun doing the Ca finish, even though its getting a bit easier for me to get a decent finish with it.

I really like the Queensland Myrtle. Great job!

Thanks Craig, that Queensland Myrtle is lovely stuff, there's a lot going on in that blank that you cant really see in the pics.

It's not a common timber even in Queensland, despite it's name.
I recieved a couple of blanks of it in a timber swap I did recently with another member of the Aussie forum that I'm a member of, got some other very interesting ones I cant wait to try as well.:biggrin:

That seems to be the common choise with everyone who's handled them so far as well, it's also the best quality kit out of the 3 .

I think that will be the one the Lady chooses when she see's them tomorrow.
That's OK, 'cause it'll have the biggest price tag as well :biggrin:.

Very nice looking pens

Well the lady came back this morning, she liked the chrome Sedona.
She also bought a curly Black Wattle Baron rollerball, and a Macadamia Elegant Beauty.

The other two have had a few lookers, but no-one has parted with the dollars yet.

Great looking pens. I am sure they will sell.
