In exploration of the non-round

[jalbert]

Greetings fellow penturners. Here is a little experiment type project I recently finished up. This is a sculpted pen with a rounded triangular type cross section. It's a shape I've been wanting to try out for a while, and I'm pleased with how it turned out. It's made from transparent blue acrylic, with a vintage blue/gray acetate grip section and nickel silver band and clip. This wasn't the best material to showcase the sculpted lines, but I had a lot of it and I really liked the color. Next I will try one in black ebonite (which should show off the lines better), and eventually make a piston-filler version. This one uses a cartridge, converter, or can have the ink put directly in the barrel with a syringe.

Additionally, here is a video:

Thanks! It was mostly a lot of hand shaping on a belt sander, then a whole lot of wet sanding by hand.

I think it is stunning. I like the clear acrylic and triangular design.

Thanks! It's quite fun to hold. My dad couldn't put it down.

BeaUtiful!!

Thanks!
