Congratulations to Four Superb Pens!

Please use this poll - I missed an entrant, so there are four to vote on (my apologies).​

Title:
Modified Rifle Pen

Description: This black walnut rifle pen has had the fore stock shortened from the original design to make it look more like a rifle. I used a D1 ink paired with a mini bolt action spring and the ink adapter from a mini click pen. It has been hand sanded to 1000 grit, sealed, and then buffed with tripoli, white diamond, and carnuba.

Pen #4.


Title of Your Entry:
Arizona on my mind


Description: Fountain pen made from Arizona desert ironwood combined with blue and white (almost turquoise) epoxy resin. The section uses a JoWo #6 steel nib, a two-tone version in the picture, but I think an all gold might work even better (sorry I currently don't have one of these in stock). CA finish for durability. My favorite feature is the subtle grain showing up in the sapwood areas.
