HRB Atrax closed end fountain pen.

[Ruby pen turning]

I know the Atrax is not post-able so I guess it would be considered a closed end pen but I wanted to do it without the hardware at the tail end. I made the pen with the same taper as the pen would have with the hardware on.The wood is Honduran rosewood burl. I have put around 10 coats CA sanded with 220 paper, then sanded through the 9 micro mesh pads and polished with Novus heavy and light scratch remover.
Thanks for looking, comments welcome

WOW
Thats a sweet piece of burl, the pen looks great.
Is that the nib that comes with the atrx?

Thanks! It is the stock nib that comes with it.

Good looking timber and a well turned pen. Haven't seen many closed end Atrax pens. I will sometimes throw a triton threaded end onto a atrax to make them postable, but my next may have to be a closed end. Very good show!! Thanks for the inspiration.

Wonderful choice of woods and subsequent design. IMHO
