First Majestic, in Black Ash Burl

[mikemac]

My, but this is a big pen.. I decided to make myself a personal fountain pen, and used this, just to see what the kit looked like. Definitely a hefty, manly pen.

Comments always appreciated.

That sir is a fine looking fountain pen, I would even be proud to carry that pen.

Great looking pen, and great looking piece of timber. Very nicely done!

Fine looking pen, Mike. You did a beautiful job
with some very nice burl!

 

[Rum Pig]

Nice looking pen and timber they match very nice.
Well done I would be proud to have that in my pocket.

 

[CSue]

WOW! Thats one mighty fine writing instrument! What a beautiful piece of work!

 

[Stick Rounder]

Wow. Great looking pen. Great blank.

It doubles nicely as a garden dibble. Or a stick shift for a 63 Jag.

Just kidding, you did a nice job with it! I've made a few, doubt I'll ever sell one. They are freakin' ENORMOUS, and I wonder how comfy something that heavy would be to write with for extended periods.

Very nice job though!

I'm planning on using it for myself, as I too doubt I could sell it, esp with this economy.. while it is heavy, its also pretty well balanced, so, it might not be unbearable.

I've made a few Majestics and really like them. The pen I carry is a Majestic in Buckeye Burl but I think you've just convinced me to cut up some of my Black Ash Burl and turn another one. Very nice pen.

Beautiful wood and nicely executed. How does the Majestic compare in size to the Statesman? I think they use similar size tubes.

I've never used a Statesman, only a Jr. Statesman, but in comparion.. it feels like a baseball bat!
I had to buy a 39/64 drill bit for the lid, and theres a fair bit of wood on it as well. Its a BIG pen... I'm still not sure I would want to use this as a daily driver, but I'm gonna give it a try.

 

[artistwood]

Wow!

 

[JohnU]

I love the pen and the blank is definately one of my favorites! Great Job!

The Statesman disappears in its shadow! Not really, but the Statesman is smaller by a fair amount.

Pen looks really great Mike.

Beautiful pen from a beautiful piece of timber . I love Majestics and have sold several of them . They are impressive pens and with the right blanks they sell well and that looks like a right blank .

Great looking pen, Mike.
