Spring Blossoms / Empresses

[Chatham PenWorks]

I've had these for a while, and finally got around to turning a few. I really like the looks of them, though the quality of components could be improved. I put the sedonda in the pic for size comparison. These are full size pens. All comments and critiques appreciated.

Just adding a few better pics. They went over better than expected at the show last week.

Very nice! I have a few of those kits I'm dying to make but the bit won't fit my drill press.:frown:

Those all look great!

Hopefully you get the same reaction I did. I was wary of the size, but that seemed to be more of a draw than a deterrent.

Where do you get the fountain pen spring blossoms

I got them from Axminster in the UK when they first came out. I must say that I highly doubt I'll get anymore of the fountains. As they come, the ink cartridge and converter won't fit through the coupling. The coupling has to be reamed out to use.

That sucks. Good looking pen though.
