Jr Gent II RB in Brooks803 blank - #132

[EarlD]

I really like Jr Gent II's in Rhodium or Black TI. I thought the cream and black blank I purchased from Brooks803 at the last IAP meeting in Atlanta would look good in a Black TI from Exotics. I turned the insert for the finial and the centerband from what little was left from the blank. As usual, reverse painted black, mm to 12k and Beale's buff and wax. Ed from exotics had a Extra Fine point blue refill that I put in this one.

That is VERY cool!

That's a pretty neat blank. Sorta looks spalted on the one side.

Nice looking pen, Earl. Perfect kit and plating for this blank.

OOOOHHH MY GOD! That is beautiful! Absolutely stunning!

Now that is really cool. I think the centerband really sets off the rest of the pen. I need to try that soon.

The blank is awesome on it's own but the change to the centerband puts the pen over the top! Outstanding work!

Whoa, terrific pen, with finial and center band really out of this world. Great, great job.

Another beauty Earl! I have to agree with everyone else, that centerband is slick! Thanks for showing this one...I'll have to do a couple more like that.
