Fantastic Pen, Danny.
Love the Profile, and Proportions, the Brushed Aluminium, and Finial, and Cabochon treatment on the Body End.
Your Choice of Walnut and Brushed Aluminium, is Superb as is your Subdued Walnut Finish.
Truly Magnificent.
Congratulations,
Brian.

Danny, that´s a nice combination of materials.
Is there a sleeve or something like that inside the cap or is it pure wood?
I made a fountain pen some weeks ago from ebonite and mahagony,
but i didn´t made a sleeve inside the cap, just a finial and a threaded part top and bottom.
So there is some "open" wood close to the nib and the ink is drying out so incredible fast.
How is your cap made?

Gerrit, the cap is fully lined with aluminum, think an aluminum closed end pen wrapped in wood. The top of the cap screws into the internal aluminum liner. I was planning to just make the threaded ring at the bottom of the cap with a solid wood cap but got scared it wouldn't be strong enough. Seems like there is an added benift you mentioned on the nib not drying out.
You could coat the inside of your cap with CA to seal the wood.
