Fresh Ebonite

Direct from Exotic Blanks.

Marbled Green Ebonite

Marbled Blue Ebonite

Marbled Yellow Ebonite

This material turns and polishes like a dream. It has been a huge seller for me and commands premium pricing from knowledgeable pen enthusiasts.

Thank you for looking and particularly to those who leave a comment.

Gorgeous pens, class all the way. I know of Ebonites's quality. I haven't done any yet, but it's on the to do list.

Very fine work, Lou.
That ebonite does make some classy pens!

 

[skiprat]

Hey!!!! That stuff is cool!!:biggrin: It makes even your pens look good:tongue:

Elegant-Classy-Upscale...Ok! Ok! After seeing those my inventory is lacking, damn now another trip to their site is in order.

Very nice work, Lou. Do you still use lacquer to finish ebonite, or have you changed to something else?

I'm still a lacquer guy. It's the most consistent finish across so many different materials.

And thanks to everyone for the kind and generous comments.

Gorgeous pens Lou!

Great looking pens Lou. I love the shape of them, the subtle curve is nice. The marbled blue is my favorite.

Great looking set of pens Lou. Is there dust on your camera lens? Each photo has dust flecks in the same spot.

Nice stuff Lou. For those interested in kitless and cutting threads, this is by far the easiest material to work with and no fear of cracking.

WOW!!! Our own Lou!!! Known for "pretty wood pens" --- has gone UPSCALE!!!

He now turns ebonite!!!!

So, can we say he has (for the moment) traded in his pretty wood for some old rubber? Next thing, he'll be carrying it in his pants pocket, wandering around DC, claiming to have a "old rubbery Jr. Statesman in his pocket".

Looks like this could turn into a headline in the Washington Post!!!

Beautiful pens, Lou -- the blanks sure improve with your gentle persuasion!!!

Beautifully done, Lou. Do I understand that you use a lacquer finish on ebonite?

 

[bitshird]

Lou; all three pens are beautiful, I love the look of the Ebonite, I'd like to know more about your method of lacquer finishing!

I'll check, Jeff. All these years I've been thinking it's my eyes. :biggrin:

Awhile back I could have claimed it was an ivory Emperor! (QUITE a while back!)

Yes, see below.

Yes, ebonite takes lacquer quite well. Just polish the ebonite until it shines, then a couple of coats of lacquer per night for 4-5 days, applied with a soft cloth. Give it 5-7 days to fully cure and buff it until you get the shine you like.

Again, thank you for the generous comments.

I figured the "old rubbery Jr. Statesman in question" could be Senator Byrd.

He's been in more pockets than a 1908 penny.

And in WV, he's still an ivory Emperor!

Geez, nice pens Lou. Now I have to go buy some stuff from Ed.
