A while back, I started a thread in the Fountain Pens folder asking for advice and suggestions for a joint Christmas and birthday gift for my younger sister. Many helpful ideas were given and great suggestions made. [8D]
Edit: Here is the original thread for those of you who would like a little bit of background info.

Two members offered to send me (1)dip pen nib and holder and (2)the Calligraphy Nib from CSUSA. I accepted their offers and here are the results:
Christmas:
The fountain pen is a Texas Mountain Laurel (from Dario) Baron with the CSUSA Calligraphy Nib. It has a CA finish.
Birthday (27DEC):
The dip pen is a curly Bubinga blank (also from Dario) with a CA finish as well.
What do you think? Questions, comments, <s>and [constructive] criticism</s>
are welcome. Seriously, though, if you have any critique, I would honestly like to hear that as well.
The fountain pen:
This shot of the dip pen shows the overall length/proportions better:
This is a better shot (IMO) of the figure and finish:
Thanks for looking!
