Custom Black Beauty

[wizard]

Finished it this A.M. It is a very large black Ebonite fountain pen with a #6 Medium Point Gilded Bock Nib. LOL...Just wanted to see how big I could make a pen and have it esthetically appear within a tolerable range.

Overall length capped: 6.75 inches
Cap length: 3.25 inches
Uncapped length: 5.5 inches
Width of cap at widest point: 0.75 inches
Width of barrel at widest point: 0.65 inches
Weight: no idea

I had fun making it. Thanks for looking!

Ii saw a big nib once... Like a size 8 or so. With one of those you could make it even bigger..

Billy, Thank you. It feels great in the hand!! LOL... but I have larger hands. The section I made for it feels great with the fingers. Ebonite just has a certain warmth to it..
