Hi,
This is a recent solid end Gent Fountain Pen. I love making these pens.

<br />I think I like the squared off look more just because I like the symetrical look, but I bet that thing finds it's way into a pocket quickly with the tapered end. Not to mention, it's what the customer likes more than you or I.
Good idea about adding a weight inside the blank. A hefty feel says "Quality".

<br />I like it myself.. I see that the nib is not a two-tone on this kit either, sigh... I guess the one that shows up on my door step will be a solid color nib too. I have not made one of these before, is that nib the larger sixe like the Churchills?? It looks big in that photo (I like big) []

Ok, so I modified Lance's feedback slightly, but I still agree with it! Nice job!Originally posted by LanceD
