c/c, but I would be tempted to use this one as an eyedropper.

Sorry about the pics, they're quite dusty, but I couldn't seem to do anything about it today:frown:.

Deep Burgundy w/Gold Marble PR. Polished through all the MM. I love how this blank turned out. I don't know if you can tell from the pics, but it is dark, but fairly transparent. I think some transparency looks good on a lot of custom fountain pens. Sort of a tortoise shell celluloid, but darker than that.

I think the pen looks great, however the blue background doesn't work for this picture for some reason, I'm not sure what it is, its just sort of distracting to my eyes.

Wow that looks really nice! Reminds me of some vintage celluloid a bit.

Dang.

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with it.

That's really nice ... love the blank, my first thoughts are a big explosion at night time.

It does look like lightning and fire or something:).

Thanks, I absolutely agree about the background. It was there, so I used it. I think I should have switched to white probably. I'll re-shoot better pics anyway for my website when I get back from vacation.


Did you cast the blank yourself?

Yes, it's one of my Marble blanks.

Really love the material on this one, but more to the point I think you did an amazing job with the shape of the pen. Looks like there's a nice balance to it.
