M3 Lava & Cobaltium Jr Statesman

[LagniappeRob]

I do like M3... though it does get everywhere. I come out of there looking like someone has dumped little shavings all over me.

I think it looks even better in person. It has little sparkles from catching the light when you spin it

Looks nice, I'll have to try one of those someday

 

[stonepecker]

Could someone explain what M3 is? Where to get it? Where it comes from?

Newbie minds want to know.:biggrin:
Thank you.:highfive:

Stonepecker,

Took me a little while to find this thread from a couple of months ago, but hopefully this link will take you to some comments made by the folks that make the M3 blanks.

You can get them at a few of "the regular" online sellers. I am pretty sure exotics has them and I believe I have seen them at some other sites as well.

Nicely done! That really is a beautiful blank. I made one on a Majestic Jr black titanium rollerball and it immediately became my carry pen

Very nice. M3 blanks are on my list to try sometime - whenever I can persuade myself to spend ~$30 on a single pen blank.

I've turned a few of the all metal, half metal half volcanic ash, and all volcanic ash. I enjoyed it. Little hair raising but the results are awesome!

Oh and nice pen. I like they way they go together.

I really like the M3 blanks too - and you did a great job on this one!

Here's the brother (cousin?) as well...

I like to make pairs. It seems like I get spurts of people wanting fountain pens, then none for a while. So I started doing them in pairs of the same hardware but 1 rollerball and 1 fountain. That way I can swap off.

The front is a M3 White Aluminum and Lava
The back is M3 Cobaltium and Lava


The only M3 blank I wasn't totally thrilled with was the solid carbonite. It doesn't pop out at you like the others. I think I sill have it in inventory from last year.

Thank you all for the information and links. This is now in my "To do bucket list."
If it works half as good as it looks, this should be great.

So many things to do and take care of......I am happy just for an hour each day to look at the forums. Life can be crazy at times and right now....I am the king of nuts.
