Mexican Kingwood Jnr Statesman

[marelton]

I haven't posted for some time now, but I thought this one was worth showing.
It's half of an order for a customer in France who also wants a fountain pen in the same wood and style.

I really like this wood, it's a deep dark purple with some great figuring, one of my favourites and always a winner!

Comments always welcomed.

Great blank . Makes a Classy pen .

Great workmanship.

Very classy. It's a great contrast between the dark wood and the metal. Is that the Platinum finish? It's "tres elegant" (which is the sum total of my French, that and Crepes).

Stunning work!

Very nice Martin!

I have a cigar in that wood, and the shine that the wood gets even without a finish is awesome! Just don't leave it on a cold windowsill like I did! It cracks quite easily!

Great Work!
