Rare kit, uncommon material

[gerryr]

I don't recall ever seeing one of these posted. This is a Gold Ti Berea European fountain pen. The material is Chocolate Mint Lucite from Pipe Maker's Emporium by way of JimGo when we swapped some blanks. I painted the inside of the holes with some pearlescent mint green nail polish.

Comments welcome, good or bad.

Very nice Gerry. I like the blank and you've done an excellent job with the fit and finish of it.

Gerry, I'm with you on the Chocolate Mint. It is well received, especially by one of my assistants who got it on a Sierra for Christmas last year.

Normally I am not a fan of adding contours to most pen kits, but I have stayed away from this style because it looked to skinny for me, so to speak. The subtle contouring you added really improves the look of the kit. Great work!

Very pretty Gerry; nice job! Glad to see you found a use for the Chocolate Mint! []

Very cool. I'll have get some of that.

That kit has been posted at least once, but with the Corinthian centerband and made with oliepod burl.

Your contour on the pen looks very comfortable.
