Beautiful pen!
Is that a churchill front section? Also, it looks like you tapped the cap. Are those tripple start threads or single?

Ken,
Beautiful job on this one.... I've been drooling over this pen since you posted it on the FPN. I think it's my favorite pen I've seen posted in a long time.

I have to agree with everyone else...absolutely beautiful! I'm also curious as to where the components came from. Also, I really like the end of the cap where you have the golden dawn showing. Does the end of the body have the same look? Is it segemented in there or is it part of a tenon that the black end is press fit over to help secure the clip? Either way it is amazing work!

Thanks for all the very kind comments.
In response to a few questions, The nib/grip section is a Berea section used in El Grande and Churchill type pen kits, also available separately. The only other premade part is the clip, which in this case was pilfered from a flattop american style twist ballpoint. The threading was all done by hand on my wood lathe with tap and die (with the exception of those on the nib section, which I didn't cut, only chased to deepen).
EDIT - sorry, almost forgot to answer Re the cap finial - the piece of golden dawn resin in the cap finial is an inlay, not a tenon.
Must say, thanks, Ed! - your blanks are excellent!

Very, very nice. I do love the visual texture of the barrel material. I am jealous of the wonderful kit bashing as well.
