Finished this one up earlier today. It's a graduation gift for a close friend. She's done with highschool and will be on her way to college in a couple months. So I figured this would be a fitting gift since she's an English major and loves to write. She fell in love with my wifes Sceptre that she made about a month ago. That was when we knew what to do for her graduation. The blank is of my creation and was reverse painted a dark blue to give the pen some depth. Although I wish I could say it was planned redface I really like how it has a fade of light to dark. It looks kinda like an ink window with the majority of the ink at the bottom and it emptys up where the nib is. Blue was the overall theme here and I'll be sending some Private Reserve American Blue ink along with the pen. The graduation party is tomorrow night so I'm hoping it's a hit. I also upgraded the nib to one of Lou's semi-flex steel nibs. The finish is MM to 12000 & polished with PlastX. Thanks for looking and as always any comments/critiques welcome!
Gotta love the closeup!
