Two pomelle bubinga Jr Statesman

[KC]

Here's a couple I'm fairly happy with...1/2 sap from BB. These blanks are beautimous, and the finish is probably as good as any I've done. Not sure I really like the profile on the fountain pen, but you all know how we have to fiddle with the shape to stay interested. Please no comments about my 'don't lay the rollerball on the fabric' lesson. [8)] Thanks for perusing...

and the way the dot on the fabric highlights the tip.....

I think you did a fine job on both. Actually, I like the shape of the FP and unless someone has pretty large hands it looks like it should be pretty comfortable. The finish looks good, what did you use?

Your not laying the lid of the fountain pen in the wet ink are you?[] Sorry couldn't help myself.

Now for the pens!! Fantastic. I like the shape of the fountain and may give it a go. Beautiful finish as well.

I actually thought you colored the fabric on purpose for effect. You shouldnt have told your secret!

Very nice- I really like the bottom one, with the little flare out towards the end.

Those look sharp! I like both. The fp shape is actually really well done. Compliments the pen style. You realize of course your going to have to change your forum name to dot.[}]
