Made it over the period of last two days. It's lavender ebonite...with a few inclusions or dark spots.... Has a medium point # 6 gilded Bock nib. I debated on whether or not to continue making this pen once I saw the spots. I showed it to my son (OldReg) and wife who felt like the spots gave the pen character. I got the blank from Exotics and showed it to Dawn..who promptly in her usual highly conscientious manner pulled this lavender color from her site and went about sending me two care packages with orange, black ebonite and others.... My son, who has taken up writing with fountain pens, has already claimed the pen. Not sure what caused the spots or inclusions so I hope Bruce can jump in as I respect his expertise in polymer chemistry along with many other areas. Anyway, hope it's tolerable...Doc
