Kitless Pen Contest Pen (Lots of Pics)

[Jontello]

Thanks for the votes on my pen. It's been a while since I have posted on the forum. I have been working on kitless pens these last months and still hand painting them. This was my attempt at Urushi imitation (Japaning). Here are some more pics of the process. Thought you might enjoy them. The last picture is my pen alongside a Manu Propria pen for comparison.

Fabulous craftsmanship!When I first saw the entry, I assumed it was Martin's work.

That was my vote for the contest. The shape reminded me of your painted pen that won the MPG a couple of years ago.

Beautiful work!!
