This is my first kitless FP ( I did make a rollerball recently though ) , also my first using wood.
My pen output has slowed considerably, hopefully the speed will pick up once I get all the mandrels and jigs made for this type of work.
At the moment, I am making them as I need them.
This one is made from Mackay Cedar, and some Acrylic Acetate, fitted with an extra fine #6 Jowo nib.
The Mackay Cedar was given one coat of thin CA and some Ubeaut Traditional wax, nice to hold.
The pen is 155mm long capped, the pen barrel is 15mm diameter.
It has a homemade stainless steel clip.
Unfortunately I didn't do a good job on the 14mm thread on the pen body, I was slightly over 14mm and the threads chipped a bit. Live and learn.
