This is a Jr. Abraham rollerball in chrome and black ti dressed in one of George's resifill banksia pod blanks. It was a fairly challenging blank to turn, but I think it came out pretty good. It has a CA finish on it.

Beautiful pen ! The blank may have been a challenge, but you won and it looks beautiful. I love the large "eye".
Very nice.
EDIT: your pictures are very nice - not overly fancy, but displays the pen very well!!!

Great to see you tackling, one of those blanks and as you said, they are a challenge no doubt but, one worse while...!
The pen looks pretty good as does the finish, congrats...!:wink::biggrin:

Thanks for the compliments on the photography. To tell a secret, they were taken with my phone on our kitchen table. I really should set up things with the big camera to take some really nice photos.
As for the blanks, I have three left out of my set of four. I suspect I got lucky.

One down, three to go. It was pretty challenging blank to turn. I had to hone my skew maybe every 5 or 6 passes once I got the blanks round. Since I was turning it so gingerly, it was quite a few trips to my hone. I did treat the holes with thin CA after drilling, which was a great idea.
