Brazillian Walnut FP

[KDM]

This is a remanufactured fountain pen. Rather than being based around a woodturning kit, it's a modified commercial pen. The wood was bored and cut to fit over the original pen for a friend affected by arthritis. Hopefully she can write more comfortably now!





It is actually grain matched, but whatever way the flash hits it, the centre piece looks off.

Nice, I never thought of repurposing old fountain pens. I think I have some laying around.
How does the cap stay on?

Inside the original cap was a loose-fitting plastic cap with an internal flange. This flange clips over the flange of the nib of the pen. I cut it out and glued it into the new cap. I have to say, it is potentially the weak point in this pen. I have the owner's assurance that she'll shout at me if the lid doesn't clip on!
