It wasn't a total Loss

[toolcrazy]

As some of you remember I posted about obtaining a finial cap for a Jr. Statesman. Well, I was convinced just to pull one from a kit and send it to the customer. Well I did just that and here is the pen that I made from the remaining parts. A Rhodium/Black Titanium Jr. Statesman Closed End Fountain Pen with white Marble Tru-Stone.

How Steve, that is Beautiful to say the least. I for one am impressed..

I really like that. My first and only closed end was not so pretty, so I haven't tried anymore. This inspires me to get over it and try again! Great job!

Great looking pen.

I wouldn't think that to be a loss at all!
Beautiful work, Steve.

White Marble Tru tone ------ WOW that is one sharp pen.

Nice!!

Not only a good save, but a new look for the pen. The cap wasn't going to
post anyway, right?

You'll love it.. :biggrin:

Get ready to wash out your micromesh often, it cuts TruStone beautifully
but catches all of the dust. But the finish on the pen will be smoother than
the plating on the kit.

Excellant

Actually, it was the post-able version. I usually don't buy the other version.

Thanks all!!

Very Nice Steve! That is excellent!

I have made a lot of Trustone from the soft to the incredibly hard.

I just got some of the White Marble blanks. How hard is the white marble?

It seems the situation turned out well for everyone. Nice solution for the missing parts, I really like the pen.
