Aston Matin segmented rollerball

I had to cut thin pieces of merbau, padouk and wenge.
Keltic knot of wenge and yellow veneer. Schellac finisch.

Pretty wild Peter! Looks like quite a bit of work went into that blank.
Nice execution.

Very nice work, Peter !

Can you please tell where you bought the "Aston Matin" pen kit ?

It appears to be very similar to the "Virage Rollerball".

I did a Goggle search for "Aston Matin pen kit" and found several sources including :

Aston Matin Rollerball & Fountain Pen Kits

AstonMatin Rollerball & Fountain pen kits. Post able lid, that you can screw effortlessly onto the end cap when writing.

Sometimes the pen kit name is given as "Aston Martin", which is what I thought I was reading in the title of this thread . . . but maybe not.

Anyway . . . please let us know where you got the kit . . . I am very curious about this. . Thanks.

I thought of James Bond when I saw Aston Martin. Those Q modified spy cars are pretty cool, but I didn't think I'd find one segmented here.

That is some beautiful work, Peter! The wood colors look great together.

Yes, it took some time to make it. The knot is very delicate, had to sand the last mm or so.
But the smile was growing all the time
