My first Jr Gent II

[Dan Masshardt]

Lots of firsts for me here - first fountain pen. First capped pen with a blank on the cap. First Jr Gent. I will be ordering more... I love the quality of the kit.

In my go to black walnut with CA finish.

(Please excuse the iPhone pictures).

Very Nice Dan!

Nice work...and the second picture really shows off the nice CA finish

That is very nice. Now look in the library on turning custom finials. That will be the icing on the cake. (so to speak)

Great looking pen and a fountain at that.
Nice finish too.
So, what size bit did you use on the cap section?

Nice pen. That is my favorite hardware. It's not too fancy and doesn't take away from the work that you have done to it. Very nice job.

Looks good Dan. Make sure you save one of those kits for what the postman's bringing!

12.5mm. . I wanted to do it right and it was the right fit. If I hadn't needed to go to woodcraft anyway, I might have considered on if the other options.

I'm excited! I'll probably be using several of them for this kit and the rollerball version.

Very nice pen. The Jr Gents/retro/statesman are all good solid pens and FP.

That Black Walnut sure does take a nice finish!


Congrats on all the 'firsts'!!!

Thanks for all the comments.

There will be more to come. I'm getting different woods but I'm also hunting for truly unique pieces of walnut amongst the stock I have.
