Wood Custom FP, Black Ash Burl

[MikeL]

While I am starting to get the hang of custom fountain pens, this one took quite some time. The section and the screw on finial for the clip gave me fits. No burl was harmed (covered up) in the making of this fountain pen. Thanks for looking.

That is beautiful! Besides the excellence on the turning and finish... That is an unusual blank ! Custom segmented with end screw?

Its AWESOME!

Thanks for the comments. The inspiration for gilding and patina mixed with wood comes from David Marks wood turnings. If you are are not familiar with him do a search on his vessel turnings. He is quite the artist. Thanks

Thanks Brian. The Burl nib did present some challenges but it was worth the effort.
