This is the same Gent fountian I posted a few back for my niece's wedding (tomorrow). I could not find a box I liked to fit this pen, so I just made one.
It's drastically larger than most pen boxes. I wanted the design to be nice and simple, square edges, and good hinge hardware. I like the barrell hinges, and fortunately our cabinet shop has a drill-press type machine called and EcoPress that has the EXACT size bit you need and can be set to the exact spacing needed for these lil fellers.
Finished with the same conversion varnish the pen is finished with. The walnut comes from the same stock that I made a nice walnut/curly maple coffee table for my mother, so my niece will love it.
