First Wooden Grip

[lane223]

Here's a ebony El Grande with a oil finish. My opinion is with this wood, a BLO/CA finish makes it look like black plastic. The wood grip is Amboyna.

Very nice work. Love the grip - both the wood and the contrast. I need to try making a grip.

I've never made one of those. Did you have to thread the grip to get it to work?

Beautiful, very nice work! I like the contrast of the grip too.

That is a most beautiful pen, especially with the grip. It is a nice surprise when the cap is removed, great photo as well.

Here's the link over at pen makers guild: http://www.penmakersguild.com/articles/woodgrippen.pdf

Didn't need to thread the grip. Basically, you turn down an original grip and put the wood "tube" on.

Awesome pen! The craftsmanship is remarkable! The wood grip really sets it off.
