My first fountain.

[bloodhound]

Well i had my first request for a fountain pen. It is however a kit. So, it seems a kit is a kit is a kit. But i was a little nervous because i quoted him a price and he didnt even twitch at it. So, this is also my first $100 pen. How did i do? I will take any comments - or +. The design was also requested. He printed a pic off of line. and asked if i could do it.

Very nice! I like that combination of woods in your segmenting, well done. I'd say worth every dollar of your price.

Congratulations! Great job on the segmenting!

Did you make the base for the customer too?....for extra $?

beautiful workmanship love the segmenting

 

[bloodhound]

The kit is a baron from berea. And I didn't make the stand for the customer. But I sent him a picture of the pen on the stand and he asked for it as well. So for $20 he got the stand as well.

Thank you for your comments. They mean more coming from people who also make pens and know the effort that can go into a pen

Lovely looking pen !! Excellent design and workmanship !! Congratulations to you.

How did you finish it ? .... CA ? ... Oh, and what woods did you use, please ?

 

[bloodhound]

Yes the finish is CA. The wood is walnut. Not a burl but very close. And cinnamon burl.

While I am a newbie; I am blown away! That is one fantastic looking pen. It would be very interesting to hear how you went about making that Beautiful piece!

Hey that's an awesome pen. For 120 dollars, that's a steal both pen and stand. You've put in a lot of work mate, and segmented too!! Really well done.
