First Mistral

[DJBPenmaker]

My first Mistral ballpoint pen in Ebony/ African Blackwood (unsure) with CA finish. Love the kit, seems to be really​ good quality.

That is a beautiful pen Derek. And I also love your photography. Well done on both accounts.

Very nice Derek. A Mistral FP is my personal pen. It's a great kit.

Thank you. I had some help and advice from Steve Axelrod over the photography techniques.

I might just have to put a Mistral together for myself.

That's a sharp looking pen! Nice work!

Thank you all. Just wondering if others find that simple lines together with a black blank and a gloss finish are the most challenging. I find this combination the least forgiving.

Where did the ballpoint kit come from and the price?

Hi David, you'll find it on the Beaufort Ink website http://www.beaufortink.co.uk
I think they have a US distributor but I'm not 100% sure on that, you'll have to ask them.

Hi David, you'll find it on the Beaufort Ink website Beaufort Ink - High quality refills, nibs, pen kits and blanks for discerning pen makers.

Signature Pen Supply has them in the US. Not the ballpoint though I guess.
