Standing ovation, Doug!!!

 

[arjudy]

Very nice indeed. I love the colors in that piece.

Doug, that is one of the...........no that is the nices Ebonite pen I've seen. I was at a show this weekend and the educated buyers just fell all over the ebonite pens and they bring top $, if I had yours there I would have had to chain it down and offer it to the highest bidder.....Bravo!

Excellent pen there Doug.

That's nice. Is it threaded or does the top snap on?

 

[dgscott]

Thanks for all the encouraging comments! The cap is threaded (12x1.5). I found the tap for the nib holder from Lou Metcalf cuts a very tight thread -- probably 75-80% engagement or so. It helped to recess the holder slightly in the barrel.

Hey Doug,
Is that one revolution or 2 for the cap thread?

 

[dgscott]

2 revolutions -- enough to snug, without being tedious!

Outstanding Doug! That ebonite has some nice figure to it, but your design and work is what really makes it shine. Beautiful.
