Gents...I got some ivory and put on a Patrizio...the extra blank depth on this allows enough ivory so it did not crack...took some effort...but seems pretty nice...

Very elegant. I like the lines of the Patrizio pen I just wish it used a parker refill. If that material like to be kept a little thicker you could consider a cigar pen kit. They keep a lot of the wood thickness.

Hahahaha! I've priced ivory, as I'm really interested in doing an ivory pen at some point. Until I can make pen while blindfolded, I don't think I'd invite that sort of calamitous anguish. Stuff is pricey.

All that babbling aside, that is a very lovely pen. The ivory looks very smooth and warm and elegant. Well done.

Is it feasible to glue strips of ivory together. ie. if you had strips off an old piano - could these be glued together to make a blank and what sort of glue would you use.
