Midnight Runner Kitless

[ragz]

Completed one today. Blank is called Midnight Runner. Turned out a little light than I expected but I still like it. #6 Bock nib playing with a new light tent as well here

All comments welcome

Nice work. It is amazing how much weight you save when you leave out the tubes and hardware.

Really nice pen. I like how you aligned the pattern on the cap with the body when closed.

What kind of light bulbs are you using for your light tent? And was the background white or the 'creamy color' I'm seeing?



The pen looks really nice! Though it was double end postable in the first photo, but there was no threads in the second(will the finish become scratched with repeated postings?

thanks!

SDB777 - It will eventually get ring but it will only be near the end of the pen. The end of the body is small enough to fit into the cap past the threads and is far enough into it that the cap just needs to rest on the end without pushing it on and not be a nuisance.

Cool! Was just wondering...certainly wouldn't tell a customer to push it on, I could see someone bearing down and cracking the cap!

I think it's gorgeous! I've got to start learning how to do that!
