I think I'll change out the nib for a larger one -- the small nib looks kind of teeny on such a beefy body. Section, coupling all Alumilite (my newest favorite stuff).
C&C gladly accepted.

I very much like the "beef" in this pen even with the "teeny weenie" nib it looks great. Love that look of "wood".
 
Doug very nice fit and I agree that a larger nib might look better. The wood and finish look really good as does the overall pen.
 
I also think a larger nib would look good.

Is it just the angle of the photos or is there no clip? If I had to guess, I'd say that this is kitless but I'm pretty new to all of this, so if it is a kit, it's one I haven't seen yet.

Nope -- no clip, no kit. Just some cocobolo, some alumilite, and a Heritance nib.

Very nice looking pen. I like the design, great looking piece of wood, and the actual implementation looks excellent. What is the center band made from? Is it possible to get a closeup?

The centerband is actually part of the internal closure -- threaded to accept the section. Like the other pieces that aren't cocobolo, it's alumilite, cast then turned and threaded on the metal lathe.

Thanks for looking!

ROTFLMAO.

Reminds me of a time when I was asked for advice by a female friend on how to react to a flasher. I said, "Just take a good, long look and say, 'Gosh, it looks like a [nib] only smaller!'"
