Last week I made a new very fat eye-dropper fountain pen from water buffalo horn. The section is made from ebonite, lacquered with "shôen-urushi" urushi lacquer mixed with pine carbon. Shôen-urushi will stay deep black forever, while "roiro-urushi" will turn into a brownish color with the years. The nib a No. 8 JOWO 18 kt.

Have a great weekend,

Cheers,

Martin

A Superb Pen Martin,
Stunning Buffalo Horn Blank.
Excellent Proportions, Good Profile, Magnificent Section.
Outstanding Machining, Turning, Fit and Finishes.
Love the Ever So Narrow Gold Cap Lip.
I have to get Accustomed to the Slightly Bulbous Shape, I don't Dislike it, I am Just Not Used to It.
Congratulations,
Brian.
