Getting Braver

[rtjw]

I read the D.W. Frommer II article in the articles section and decided to get really brave. This is what turned out. It is a really really modified cigar fountain pen kit. I made it into a lightweight, solid body, ladies purse pen with spalted maple burl.

THAT is a very nice pen. What finish did you use?

 

[Fleabit]

Nice idea. The pen came out looking good.

Very attractive pen...good work!

It is just the plain old Mylanders friction polish. I have not gotten brave enough to use CA. Of course i did get in on the CA Bulk Buy and ordered some yesterday with just a few hours to spare.

Well done. I'll have to try one of those myself.

Nice work and good idea!

Great job Johnny! I wanted to try that with the Cigar Rollerballs that I did recently, but I got chicken. Now I have to try it. []
