So today I managed to track down some washington chestnut (yea, it grew on his estate) and I bought the blank... but I am agonizing over what pen kit to make it out of. I really want to do it justice, any ideas?

Thanks,
Randy

I have not made one myself, but there is a few members here who have, you might do a search in "show off your pens", but i'm sure those who have will chime in.
The Desire is not "blingy" to take away from a good quality blank, and i would wanna keep it USA made. JMO

Wasington chestnut

I put mine on a Majestic Jr. Didn't want to turn so much wood away but was afraid i might blow out the blank with a larger model.

I used the full size Majestic however if I had it to do over I would probably go with the Jr.

Woodcraft has the Hancock which is made by lazerlinz. It is
stainless steel and is either roller ball or fountain.
The fountain pen would fit the era and be made in the US. A closed end barrel is a nice touch.
