Now THAT's what an El Grande should look like!

she's a beaut! nice work. did you turn the top of the cap separately?
Well, yes and no.
The barrel of the cap is drilled and glued like a standard el grande would.
But then I attach the finial and turn.
It's turned like a closed end pen, but not assembled before turning like a closed end pen.
Make sense? It's hard to put into print.

Very nice. The only thing left to do is ditch the CB.

I dunno, I like the CB on that pen. It's just the right touch to set off the clip. It only works with that CB though, a Churchill.. No.
Where did you get the material from, I have been wanting to make one from that stuff myself.

Once in a while a pen comes along that just stands out as the best of the best. This is that one!

Beautiful Pen Brian,
That is the first El Grande I have seen that looked nice, love the rounded top.
Where did you source your ebonite?

Thanks, Jim.
I owe the inspiration on the background to you[

The ebonite came from Pipemakers.

The ebonite came from Pipemakers.
I am pleased that the format works for your pens too, this is one of my favorite's of yours.
I am going to take a look at the Pipemaker sight again, I ordered a few moths ago, I don't rememeber the ebonite in green...looks awesome.
I have never tried to do the replaced cap like you have, were you able to secure the top parts together while you turned them?

bgray, again nice job and the other one looks even better without the centerband in my opinion...
another question. your explanation made sense but how did you get the clip on? recessed?

If I could pick a pen from all the pens pictured on the IAP web site, this one would be the one.

Perhaps you could write a tutorial for the libuary? It is truly a work of art, however leave the center band where it is.
