Conical segments, kitless Aluminium fountain pen

[BradG]

Todays handmade fine writing instrument. a conical design crafted from aluminium. lots of sanding was required to ensure there were no rough edges, without going to the point of rounding off the edges to keep it's sharp appearance. feels lovely in the hand, and topped off with a JoWo nib.

The whisky pic is my treat for finishing this one. it's been a long day!


As always, thanks for looking

Very nicely done! Ah the joy of sanding aluminum... black stained fingers and buffing wheels. But is sure is pretty when your done.

Brad,
WOW !!! That is an absolutely stunning pen! The design is so unique. It whisked past contemporary and hit some futuristic point in penmaking.
The shape of the section is beautiful. That drink was well deserved!
Warm Regards, Doc

Thank you for the kind words all. it sure was a fun one to make with a couple of challenges along the way, such as the tool post being in the way lol.

Yes, the whisky is one of my favourites. if you've tried Glenfiddich, but not the 18 year, then it's a must. Rich in oak sherry cask, which compliments it very nicely. Then again all of my drams are single malts :biggrin:
