Graduate and Honduran Rosewood burl.

[Ruby pen turning]

This is the second of the 2nd graduate fountain pens I bought to try out. I did the first one in resin and this one is Honduran Rosewood burl. I put around 12 coats CA sanded and sanded again through the 9 colored pads and polished with Novus heavy/light scratch remover.
Thanks for looking comments bad/good always welcome.

VERY Nice!!!! Excellent fit. Fantastic finish.

I like the simplicity of this kit, but was wondering how comfortable the grip area is to hold when using this style?

It is quite big. It uses a 10.5mm tube so it would be very close to what a Zen feels like.

Love HRB, and your finish, as always, is superb! Got to try this kit!

HRB is one of my favorites. This is the first time I have seen this kit. What are your thoughts so far? Oh yea, awesome finish too.

Thanks everyone. As for the kit, it is a really nice. Parts are solid and well finished and as I said when I posted my other one, there is a small screw in the underside of the final for adjusting clip tension. I don't know if it will ever get used but I did adjust the first one and left the second pen alone and it does work. The only down fall is the nib is so short forcing you to write holding the barrel which uses a 10.5mm tube. Oh and the magnet is equal to the Zen magnet.

That's different, and I like it. Great job on the fit, finish, and overall appeal.

I am liking the pen with that wood. I think it looks nicely done. Nice finish too. Thanks for sharing!
