Italian set.....

[Ligget]

Hello folks, I thought it was time to post some of my recent work, first is an order from an English guy who has an Italian girlfriend, these were made to his specifications. Chrome Baron rollerball and fountain pen, mainly dyed Box Elder Burl with more dye added. The Italian flag is dyed quilted Maple, Holly and Bloodwood, CA finish.

Lastly is an Afzilia Burl Cambridge, gold titanium and a CA finish!

Comments welcome, thank you!

Cheers
Mark
