A few pens from a newbie

[Chillicamper]

Taylors Mirfield Omega fountain pen in gunmetal made from rippled Sweet Chestnut


PSI Gothica pallpoints made with ebony

Taylors Mirfield Omega FP and Zeta made from 900yr old brown oak from Windsor Great Park


PSI Steampunk made with Jarrah burr and with the cracks filled with brass powder and CA glue.

I like the "london plane burr" wood on the steampunk pen. Never heard of it.

Nice pens BTW!

London Plane - Platanus x hispanica. It's often grown in towns and cities as the bark peels to give patchwork color and the tree is resistant to pollution. Quite often pollarded to keep the size under control. Leaves are similar to Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) whose latin name means it's leaves are like the Platanus.

The burr from this tree is outstanding with a rich colour and when polished it almost looks like a cracked old leather chair!

Great, another wood to try and collect.....

Thank you for the reply in all seriousness. I appreciate it!
