Cracked Ice 'Bamboo' FP - a custom order

[drgoretex]

Hello all.

Here's one I finished today. I thought I would post this one as it is a little different. Had a special request for one of my bamboo pens, but this one in the cracked ice acrylic. It is fitted with a nice medium single-tone JoWo nib, and is a good size, at 150mm capped.

The step fronm barrel to front section seems to raise some questions, though I have a number of pens with a significant step, and have not found it the least uncomfortable. Guess it depends where your fingers sit.

Thanks for looking!

Comments welcome.

Thanks, Scott. I believe this one took a total of around eight or nine hours or so. The inlet ends took a bit of extra time. It usually takes me about an hour to do an acrylic kit pen, and more like 7-ish for a kitless with a simple shape. Maybe another couple hours with a clip. All of it time well spent!

Cheers,

Ken
