Bulls Blood Kitless

[Twissy]

I've been so busy making kit pens for shows etc that I've not had time to do a kitless. Well I needed a break from them, and have made this........it is so nice to get back to making these pens!
The material is a European resin called Los Toros de Sangre (Bulls Blood). My first section with a #6 nib.
C&C's welcome.

Beautiful blank and excellent pen. I like the shape. Simple. Classic. Elegant.

What is written on the nib?

 

[Twissy]

Thanks folks!

Shawn, it's a Bock nib. The Bock motif in a circle, with IP lettering around it. I got a few of these from my nib guy here in the UK.

Did the nibs come with those feed holders? Are they the M7.9 x 0.6 threads?

The feed holders came from the same source. They have M6.4 x 0.5 threads, so they are probably Meister, although I have yet to confirm this. I have 2 types with the same thread. One takes the newer style nibs with the wider shoulder. The other takes the narrower nib as in this Bock.

Hi John, everything about it is stunning, especially the blank. Any chance you could give the details of the blank supplier?

Thanks Eric. The blank is from the turners workshop

Really nice work. The blank is great too - will have to order one! Are you able to share your UK supplier of the nibs and feeds?

Cheers
