The forgotten FP

[Brooks803]

I just came across these pics searching for a file on a flash drive I keep handy. I made this one several months ago. It was sent along with supplies to Shawn (Watch_art) to be given to a student. I knew I took photo's but I guess I forgot to edit and post them. Anyhow, I recently heard from Shawn that a student picked it out and was very happy with it. The blank is one of mine made from alumilite. The black finials/section are either ebonite or black alumilite (I don't remember). Sorry for the bad/out of focus pics. If I had the pen still I'd retake them. Thanks for looking!

Wow, awesome blank. I know how hard PR can be to thread. Great job on the cap, I like the little top piece of pr on top of the black acrylic. it is a nice touch to the overall pen.

I'm sure the student will get some great use out of that!!

That's a beautiful pen. I like the proportions. Looking at the length of the section I would have expected the cap to be a little longer. I'm curious if that's a #5 or #6 nib.

Wow - looks like it's made out of a seashell. I see bumps!! I can almost feel texture through the screen. Way cool.

Thanks everyone for the kind words!

Thanks James, this one was alumilite though, not PR. It was super easy to thread.

Thanks! It's a #5. At that time I hadn't bought the tooling for #6 nibs yet. Yeah the cap length made it a tight squeeze for everything to fit.
