When I grow up and think I can turn pens, I may attempt the 1940s bakelite I have:befuddled::smile-big:

Cool,no need to be intimidated by it(like I was) Just don't be in a hurry,pay attention to what you're doing and,you'll do fine. Send me a PM when you post your photos.:biggrin:

Is it something like this?

Bakelite only needs sharp tools and the results can be outstanding, lemon chaffon on Imperial. Yes the nib was changed before it was sold:biggrin:.
