I love number two. Just smidgen of light coming through the lip of the cap. Reminds me of tortoise shell.

Very Nice!
Excellent craftsmanship.
My favorite is #3. Did you pour that blank your self, or buy it?

They are all great but I love 2 & 3. Make me think of deep space. Have you considered getting rid of the sharp drop between the body and threaded portion? It looks like it would be a bit uncomfortable if writing for an extended period.

All are beautiful, but #3... WOW! The colors are amazing. Wonderful work on the entire set.

I love the shape of the first pen myself. All are very nice though!

They are all great but #2 and 3 really jump out at me. Like looking at a picture from the Huble telescope.

Sure! I use JOWO nib units purchased through Meisternibs. The taps for that were purchased at silverpenparts.com. For my medium sized pens I use 14x.75mm threads on the cap and body and 10x.75 on the section to cap threads. Hope that helps!

Pen blanks were purchased through various suppliers. The only blank I poured was the transparent purple on the double ended pen. I have only poured colors that were not readily available but I am set up for large pours now. I hope to do more of that this spring and summer and hopefully create some great one off blanks to really make my pens stick out.

For the shaping I used various sanding, and hand files. It's tedious but a very popular option on my pens.

Yes I have on specific pens. Often times I leave it up to the customer. I use my Maymont model daily and it has a lip and I have no issues. It's personal preference for sure.

Thanks for your reply. Do you mean " ... and 10x.75 on the section to BODY ... "
What size JOWO nibs ? Probably #6.
Judging by the pictures, with a 14 mm cap to body thread, the pen body and cap must be pretty large in diameter (maybe 16.5mm ?)

Yes I'm sorry. Section to body. And yes most of my pens are done In a medium size with 14mm threads. I do large and extra large models which use a 15mm then down to a small and extra small with 13 and 12mm threads. Those are all using JOWO #6 nibs and with the #5 nibs the standard sizes are 12mm and 13mm depending on the section size requested.
