Custom Fountain pen that started with a black ebonite base. I then sprayed a black basecoat paint followed by different sized metal flake (the same as used in custom car paint jobs). Then I sprayed several very thin coats of Chameleon paint. Black ebonite front section with a satin finish hosting a #6 Two Tone Heritance nib.

Inspired by the paint job on a hot rod at a local classic car show, this pen has been created from a custom burnt orange color with pearl highlights and solid black trim and front section. A matching jewel created from the orange body material tops the cap finial. A simple gold nib and clip finish it off.

This is my 6th kitless pen, and I tried out some new ideas on this one. I had never seen a coffee bean kitless before, so I decided that's what I would make. This necessitated a sleeve inside the coffee bean blank to add strength and allow for threading. Since I did not want the black Alumilite I used for the sleeve to show in the threading, I decided to make the barrel threads on the section, also a new technique for me. To complete the coffee, I used a nice coffee-colored swirly blank by Jonathon Brooks. This pen uses a JoWo feed, and, since I didn't have a gold JoWo nib, I fitted a Heritance nib to this pen.

This one was difficult to make. It took multiple tries to get it right in a time crunch. I have wanted to make a custom with deer antler ever since I have seen wooden customs posted. I'm really happy with how it turned out! Deer Antler with Black Alumilite Inserts. No. 6 Steel. Meisternib. Weight: 24 g With Cap: 14.4 cm Bottom: 12.8 cm Cap: 6.5 cm

This is a rollerball pen made out of vintage cellulose acetate from the 20s and 30s. The body and front section are one piece. The threads are triple start.
