Hello everyone! my first posting here, this is not
a finished pen yet, but my first attempt at making a
workable lighthouse pen. It needs more color in the top.

It is just a desk pen. The tip screws into the brass tube. The blank was 1" sq to start with. Maple. Turned to shape, and acrylic painted. I am still experimenting with the idea.
