Custom Orange Ebonite

[wizard]

Finished it this A.M. It's an orange ebonite fountain pen with a #6 medium point gilded Bock nib. I couldn't decide whether to go ahead and make an orange section as I usually use the same color of body and cap for the section. Thought I'd try it with a black section this time. Finishing up an orange section on lathe as I'm not sure about the black. Anyway, thanks for looking. Hope you like it.

As usual - Nice Doc!

Another winner Doc. I think the black section adds contrast - in orange I think that would be lost. Personal preference perhaps?

 

[cnirenberg]

Doc,
I agree with Terry-I like the contrast. The orange is sweet.

Doc, the pen is excellent! I would not change the section, personally. I like the black section - has a classic look to it.

Keep the black. It needs it.

Love it! The black section really gives the pen a nice "pop" look!

I also like the black section.

 

[BRobbins629]

One of my favorite ebonite colors. Nicely executed as always.

A black finial would be fun, too.

Doc, I wanted to hold off on making a comment, just to see how many would agree with me. So far, we agree to keep the black section. You made the right choice is what I'm saying. I really like the taper on this pen. It looks like a classic. Great work!:wink:

 

[biednick]

I like the black. The black sectoin just adds contrast. Black finials mightlook good, too.
