Burning Buffalo

[smoky73]

Hi everyone,

today I finished a kitless fountain pen Iwant to share with you, because I am very happy with it.

The metal parts are made of nickel silver, the nip is a Bock #6.
The caps and section are buffalo horn and the shaft is flamed mapel, which I stained red orange and yellow.
The shaft is finished with CA.

All the best!
Gregor

Very exceptional and inspiring work !!!

I really like the way you have done the double-ended threading on the section coupler !!!
Also the subtle curved shaping of the finial cap !!

Thanks for showing !!!

Gregor, that is a beautiful pen, definitely one to be proud of making. What's it like to turn Buffalo Horn, does it have a bad odor to it?

Thanks for your positive feedback!

@Len: well, it doesn't smell good, but only when drilling. For turning I used a skew chisel and it is very easy to polish. I like working with horn!
