Plain Black Kitless

[WHartman]

Kitless number #2....

Its a Fred Wissen pour that I got from Exotic Blanks. Turned like butter, I hope all alumilite turns like this... The nib is a #5 Bock from Classic Nib. Used my brand new collett chucks (worked like a charm).

Also... its my "first" completed section.... (at least the first that I'll show). I'm pretty happy with it, I had a little ridge at the end where the nib is at, but ended up sanding it off by accident... but I actually like the outcome.

I have some work to do, but overall I'm pretty happy with it. It writes nice and fits my hand perfectly.

Overall length 5.8"
Cap 2.5"
Body 3.5"
Section 1.2"

Section to body - 10x1
Cap to body - 12x1

Thanks for looking. Comments are greatly appreciated

I like the squared ends. Makes it look different that the others I have seen.
