My first fountain pen :D Jr. Statesman dressed in alternate ivory and aluminum.

After an e-mail discussion with Eagle about sine wave pens I did some research and came up with this pattern. It is a three phase sine wave with a amplitude of ¼†and a frequency of once every three inches. That should get an electrical engineer excited :)

Scrolling the alternate ivory was a challenge as the blank arrives as a rod. So I had to "put a round peg into a square hole" so that I could cut it.

Drilling the blank is always the most stressful part of the whole process. But after some tips from Eagle my success ratio seems to be improving.

As always your comments and critiques are appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Thats a really fine design and clean execution. I don't suppose you might be willing to share how you did drill the blank. I would have left the center clear, but even then, drilling all that metal means a real risk of glue failure. Amazing.
