CSUSA Panache conversion

[bob393]

I'm interested in creating a Panache fountain pen.

With all this combined experience I'm hoping someone has turned a Panache and turned several other CSUSA fountain pen kits and would know what fountain pen kit parts could be interchanged for this conversion?

I'm thinking that the Jr. Gentleman or the Jr. Statesman might work but I can't tell for sure from the pictures.

In a perfect world I would put the rollerball parts back into the fountain pen kit and save that kit also!

I'm hoping someone could save me some time and money.

Boy that got wordy

Well I ordered 5 of each, lets see what happens.

Bob,
That's a cool idea.. I haven't thought of that yet, but like the idea...
I like the Panache, but have done only 3 so far.. one from Honduras Rosewood, one from water buffalo horn and one from Axis antler..

Lou,
That is one great looking fountain pen.. is that leopardwood??

Can I copy your ideas.. [?][8)]

Heck, Bob, I'll try anything at least once! FYI, Chuck, the wood is snakewood.

Lou,
That is a beautiful fountain pen.. I was thinking snakewood when I asked the question, my fingers just don't always type what I'm thinking.

I made a little slimline from a piece of snakewood.. it was too small for anything else, my son the truck driver glommed onto it the minute I showed it and has hauled it all over the U.S. of A.... his favorite pen.
