the pen is nice, but what impresses me is the handwriting behind it. It's legible and neat and looks like it was written with a handmade fountain pen. Mine looks like a spastic chicken tracked ink onto the paper while having a seizure.
Seriously, excellent work on the pen. A piece of ebonite that truly lived up to it's potential.

Great looking pen, and +1 on the writing in the background, hope it is yours!
On the photography, I would like to see a bit more depth of field for the top of the pen cap. That specular highlight there draws your eyes and leaves me thinking, it's blurry. This takes away from the pen itself.
The bottom of the clip appears to be in focus, so I would expect a very minor tweak could bring it all into focus.

Doug NICE job, what front section did you use? I like the looks of the grip, and a pretty chunk of Ebonite. Some day I'll try some.

I made the front section out of a piece of Lucite that I got from pipemakers.org. It was black with a white ribbon (and not much of that), so on one side there's a little white squiggle that looks like a bird in flight. I kinda like it!

Fantastic pen. The pattern sure reminds me of JohnU's feather pens.

Great looking pen. That ebonite is wonderful, where did you get it? All the ebonite I have is just wavey lines through the piece.

Very nice pen Doug. I like the shape of your nib holder you made. Ebonite has beautiful pattern in it. Well done sir.
