Matching Fountain and Roller Ball

[yort81]

Matching Kitless Fountain Pen and Roller Ball Made from Solid Copper rod. Boring and threading done on my South Bend 9a metal lathe.... Shaping, Sanding and polishing done on my wood lathe

The Fountain Pen is sporting a Fine Bock Nib, Feed and Housing.

I went with clipless on both.... I may make another set and put on a Clip to see how they turn out... but for these two... not

Stunningly beautiful !!! .... these are real eye-grabbers !!!! What finish, if any, did you put on the copper ? Any lacquer or ... ?

@ Kay... Thank You

@ Mal... it's just a polished finish with a bit of Ren Wax .... I expect them to develop a very nice patina.. but a wipe down with a fine polishing wipe would keep them shining for forever :~)
