Chrome Patrizo (slightly modified) with Grey Stabalized Curly Maple

[ghostrider]

This one turned out real nice. It's grey stabilized curly maple from Mike at Wood Lab. He's done most of my professionally done stuff since he's pretty close geographically.

I messed up with the bushings, so I had to improvise and use the center band from a chrome Anelli. I actually like the lines better with this center band (don't really care for the "waspish" look of the stock center band).

I also put one of those Monteverde refills in it, and it does seem to be a nicer replacement (at least, most of the people I've asked to try it think so. Two people even chose it over a Private Reserve,)

As always, thanks for looking, and any questions, comments and/or critiques welcome.

Nice pen. I really like the Patrizio pens but wish they used a parker refill. I have turned several of them. Great fun and a really classy look.

I much rather this version of this kit. I dont like the waspish look either
