Iceland from Jeff Powell on Triton FP

[LagniappeRob]

The blank is Jeff Powell's Iceland #13 from Exotic Blanks. Also the source for the Triton FP kit, and Heritance nib.

Finished in CA - lost count of how many coats. Cured overnight and during the day (put on a coat, go to work, come home, put on another coat, go to bed, etc.)

C&C welcome and appreciated.

Well executed Rob!!!

I would like to point out that the "prettiest" part of the pen will face the writer, as he is writing, due to the way the nib was oriented.

To all Newbies, pay attention to this!!! Put the nib into the coupler BEFORE you put the coupler into the pen blank. Make sure the writer will SEE his best pen angle AS he writes. If you are willing to trade out a fountain nib for the rollerball nib, at a show, b certain you have prepared the pen to be a fountain pen, even as you assemble it as a rollerball.

DETAILS make pens more prestigious, and more expensive.

FWIW!!!

Good tip, Ed...most of the time. Unfortunately this "best laid" plan fails for that unique group of writers known as "Lefties":biggrin:

Wow, got so wound up in my brilliant comment to Ed, I forgot to address the pen! Very nice work Rob, and beautiful selection on that blank. I was going to buy it at EB, but alas, already taken!

Well done with it! While I like most of the resin/wood combos, I really like the white swirl!

I love the contrasts in this pen. It is simply beautiful. I am a lefty!
