Ruby Crush and Ebonite Fountain Pen

[wizard]

Finished it today. This is another one that I had been slowly working with on and off for a few months. Finally had some time today to finish it. Has a ruby crush resin body and cap made with black ebonite. Has a #6 medium gilded Bock nib. Thanks for looking! Doc

Hi Shreenath,

Love that pen. I still have not tried to make my own kitless pen. I really need to learn how to do this. Any suggestions on where it is well explained, from basics upwards?

Very nice Doc. I have to agree with Mike. The black cap emphasizes this red material well. Nice finish.

Beautiful Pen Doc.
Outstanding Ruby Crush Blank,
Excellent Profile, Proportions, and Lines
Superb Fit and Finish.
For my taste As the Ruby Crush is so spectacular, I probably would have used it for the Cap, in place of the Black
Ebonite. But I don't know what constraints there may have been for that.
Your choice of using Black with the Ruby is good as these colours work well together.

Sean, Sorry it took so long to respond. I would start in the library. There are some great Kitless Penmaking tutorials there by BigShed, Texatdurango, Dalecamino and others. Mike Redburn has a very thorough list of taps and dies you may need.

Very nice Doc! good contrasting colors, also doc! what cap thread is on this one.

John, I'm very sorry..missed your question. It's the 14 mm triple lead threads. Regards, Doc
