This is an unusual fountain pen called Arete, from Woodcraft. The blank was a cutoff, and I can't remember the name. I have no idea how it will write. I'll let you know what my friend says when I give it to her.

I painted the hole and tube, and colored the epoxy.

Nice pen! Not familiar with coloring the epoxy. Like many (most?) I do the tube and will also do the hole in the blank if I think it's not opaque enough but never the epoxy. Going to watch the responses on that one.
Does it come with a decent nib?

I color the epoxy too, with acrylic artist paint. Just to make sure. I have no idea about the nib. I have liked fountain pens since I was in school, but am by no means an officiando.
