Atrax FP in Brooks Blue Green

[EarlD]

This Atrax Fountain Pen in Chrome has another Brooks803 blank. It's very similar to the "Mixed Blue" Jonathan used on his Gent that was on the home page for a while as a featured photo.

I think this is a little greener than his was. Might be called teal. The color does look a little blue on my computer. YMMV.

It's reverse painted black. Components are from Exotic Blanks.

Looks great Earl! The more I see those kits the more I like them. It's too bad you can't make it to the meeting, I'd like to see some of your work in person! I think by reverse painting it blank it altered the blues that were in the blank and darkened it up a bit. I like it!

Nice, nice, nice--The pen, the blank, and the craftsmanship.

Looks Good Earl, Last week I was turning the same blank that I got from him at the last meeting, I blew it on the cap. But I got a nice bottom half

Earl I have to agree with you. That ain't a bad kit. That Brooks blank could have been better though. Jonathan you need to come up with a way where the inside of the blank is still liquid and moves when you move the pen. :tongue: How about that for a challenge.

LOL, I hope Jonathan can accomplish that. I would drive to SC to pick up a car load of them!

Jonathon, y'all have fun at the meeting tomorrow! I'll be at the next one.
