G'day!
Recently I had a customer drive to my house (2 hour drive) to see if I could customise her a pen with a jewellery item from her Recently passed mother. This pen was then a gift for the grieving father. Very humbled and touched she gave me creative licence so I chose this. Pheasantwood fully lined with ebonite, section and finish is satin ca. (Sanded to 1000 and that's it).
The rollerball 'nib' accepts fountain pen ink cartridges. (A request)
The lizard had some things to cut and bend, but I think I got it to look like it was hugging a tree.
Very memorable day.
Thanks
Casey.

Marvelous! Beautiful work.The Lizard is a very nice touch to it.

I commented in an earlier post and I will again. I am glad to see the adaption of CA into uses other than pure shine. I love the shine of CA, but it has far more functionality than just the shine alone. Thanks for the creativity! CA: Matt, satin, sheen, glossy shine, a variety of uses.

Superbly done, Casey !!!!

Please, I'd appreciate learning more about how you got a RB 'nib' to accept FP cartridges.

Is that a special RB part that you can buy ?

A very beautiful pen Casey. I think your customer's trust in you is certainly a well deserved tribute to your craftsmanship.
