Jr Majestic FP in Desert Ironwood

[redfishsc]

The first Jr Majestic have done. It is still a somewhat large pen, I'd like for it to be a tad smaller, but it is IMO a good pen.

The crystal in the clip makes it hard to photograph if you don't have the patience to set up the lights and turn off the flash, but I was in a hurry this morning as I took the pic, so that's the best I could get, lol. That, and I forgot to clean off the nib on that second pic.


The desert Ironwood is finished with conversion varnish, cured out overnight, and buffed to an insane gloss with 3M's Finesse-it II.

Thanks for looking. This pen is a "trial run" to see if it can stand up to my brutal standards (taking notes in seminary).

Great work! That crystal really shines and reflects.

That is a really great pen!![][][^] Great fit and finish. It is also good to see how well the plain chrome kit works with that blank.

Very nice. Let us know how the torture test works.[][][]

 

[rhahnfl]

Very nice. I like the crystal also.

 

[Kaspar]

Awesome job! If it weren't for the pimp stone, I might do one of those.

Excellent pen, I like the light effect on the clip on the first pen.

Beautiful pen. I've been thinking about making a fountain pen and the Majestic really appeals to me. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic pen, that crystal is a dazzler![8D][]

Great job. I like the crystal reflection in the first picture.

Thanks for all the comments all!

This is a fairly straightforward pen to make. However, it has a couple of PSI cooties, if you will. There is a slight problem with the "cabachon" or whatever you call it that sits on the dome of the cap, and also the one that is on the end of the posting stud. Both of them came in mounted ever-so-slightly off-center inside the recess that holds it. It does not show up in the pic but is visible held in the hand. Not quite enough to merit sending the kit back, but enough for me to keep a VERY close eye on future Majestic/JR Majs that I make.

Beautiful pen! Too bad about the flaws and I would sure advise PSI of this. That should not happen with this kit.

Very nice pen. The kit is too rich for my blood.

Very nice I have not seen a Majestic in the hand but they sure look goog. Like the crystal. The desert wood is weel tuned to the kit

Nice work, Matt. If you need the lecturer to slow down, just blind him with the reflection from that stone!! [][]
