Atrax FP in a Brooks803 Blank

[EarlD]

This is my second Atrax fountain pen. This one also has a blank created by Jonathon Brooks. Similar to his Acid Greens that have been shown here but the green it toned down somewhat and has a little gold in it. I left the standard nib in for comparison to my previous one which has a Bock in it. First comparisons are the Bock is much smoother. Components are from Exotic Blanks.

Reverse painted black and polished with Beall's buffing system.

As always, suggestions are welcome.

Well done Ed! I ordered one of these in hopes of using them with some of my more spectacular woods. Some timbers are better off without all the flash. I think you have created an excellent example of that.

That is a great combination of kit and blank.

I am a newbie....so if this subject is off limits, I'm sorry. If you are to sell that, what range of pricing would it go for? I get asked about fountain pens all the time.

 

[Rick P]

Im sorry Earl......clearly your name isnt ED! My bad.

 

[EarlD]

Lol, no problem Rick. I've been called that many times and lots of other names too.

Man, that's a lovely pen! My wife wants that one (hey, me too!). So, now I've got to get away from the wood and try my hand at making something like this.

Yes, that's a superb pen. Brooks' blanks are always wonderful, and I like the hardware. I think this is the first Atrax I've seen. Thanks for sharing.

Like the plating/blank combo. One definately compliments the other.
