Trustone Fountain Pen

[watch_art]

Here it is. Had to plug the end of the stinkin barrel b/c I drilled too deep and went out the back end of the barrel. D'oh!
Did not mean to do that.

Oh well - learned something new.
And yes I know the blue dot on top of the cap is too big and looks funky. If I have to redo it I'll redo it. I'm leaving that up to my customer.

This one is made from Persian Turquoise Trustone with black acrylic inserts.
This pen is 140mm closed, 125mm long open, and 177mm when posted.
13mm thick section, 14mm thick barrel to cap threads.

Definitely my favourite of your pens Shawn......so far! If you could get the cap finial to match the end of the barrel it could be a "design feature". Regardless, a really good recovery!

Shawn, the Black does make it POP. I like the save and with the added Tru Stone on both the body and cap it looks like it was intended that way.

Your designs are going farther and faster. (love them)
I really like the shape and legnth of this one.
Great job!!

Yeah, I knew I'd like this one after seeing the work in progress thread. Definitely like the "jewels" in the finials. Very nice!

Great job, I prefer the larger 'jewel' on the finial. The other appears too small and/or the border is too big.
