Copper in toto

[wizard]

Finished it this A.M. It's from a 1" diameter copper rod. Thought would have some fun....make it all match...has copper plated clip. Took a polished Bock nib, etched it and applied heavy copper plate. Surface of pen was air brushed/blasted with Al Oxide, etched and then applied 3 heavy coats of clear metal lacquer. Thanks for looking! Have a great day! Doc

Wonderful looking pen, Doc! I am sure your patient will love receiving it. Do you mind sharing where you are getting your metal stock from? I have looked both locally and on-line and either the prices are above what I would like to pay or the quantity is more than I need to purchase.

OK, I take back my "what no copper nib" comment from your previous copper pen.
Another outstanding pen! They just keep getting better!

Beautiful pen Doc!

Did the copper plating cause any I'll effects in how the nib performs?

I've been wanting to make an all copper pen for a year. Now that I've seen one...I really want to try it. I want to do some controlled patina on mine before sealing it.

That is very slick Doc! I like that a lot. Well done!
