Ivory Patrazio

[mharvey]

Gents...I got some ivory and put on a Patrizio...the extra blank depth on this allows enough ivory so it did not crack...took some effort...but seems pretty nice...

That's a nice looking pen, what sort of kit is it ? Is patrazio the kit?

Very elegant. I like the lines of the Patrizio pen I just wish it used a parker refill. If that material like to be kept a little thicker you could consider a cigar pen kit. They keep a lot of the wood thickness.

Just amazing! If that is going to be a gift, that pen is definitely perfect! Great craftsmanship.

the issue...you can only get scraps of Ivory...a tusk here...a rib there...hard to get a big enough peice for a cigar....thin ivory cracks...thick ivory cracks...a gift...I do not like anyone that well...this is collection stuff...

Hahahaha! I've priced ivory, as I'm really interested in doing an ivory pen at some point. Until I can make pen while blindfolded, I don't think I'd invite that sort of calamitous anguish. Stuff is pricey.

All that babbling aside, that is a very lovely pen. The ivory looks very smooth and warm and elegant. Well done.

Is it feasible to glue strips of ivory together. ie. if you had strips off an old piano - could these be glued together to make a blank and what sort of glue would you use.

That's precious and pretty! The ivory goes well with the kit. Great fit and finish as well. Great craftsmanship!
