Triton Tru-Stone fountain pen

Lenny · 10-22-2010, 06:03 PM

This was my first tru-stone attempt, a Black with Gold Matrix on a Triton fountain pen. Had a little trouble getting it to "shine" using my regular methods. Thanks to Andy (PenMan1) for some helpful advice, here is what I ended up with ...
Comments welcome!

Lenny,

I'd certainly be happy with that shine!!!

You want to be able to tell it's stone, not Polyresin!!

Great looking pen

That blank goes great with the triton! Just enogh gold to look very classy.

Thanks! I'm happy with the combination and I think the Triton kit is going to be a favorite. I look forward to turning some more tru-stone .... it's a little messy to work with but the results are worth it!

Definitely messy. Like working with a lump of coal. Other colors are easier though.

That is good to know!

I looked like I had been finger painting with black paint!

I think you should just throw it away, say in the mail to me. WOW! It sure knocked my eyes out! A really beautiful combination. Great pen.
