Kitless Rollerball(ebonite and brass)

[firewhatfire]

Here is one I have been working on a few days. I had the idea to finally using some brass I bought several months back. I used steel wool on the ebonite to give it a more of a matte look. i did wipe a coat od ren wax on it just beforethe pic. the clip is pilfored from another kit. The brass gives it some heft to it, no scales to weigh it though. Comments and critiques are welcome and thanks for looking.

And that's the way to make a pen (IMO) Well done Phil

Wow, that's an elegant looking pen. Did you coat the brass with something to prevent it from tarnishing?

I like that. Looks simple and elegant all at once.

The brass was coated with but plastic polish after wet sanding and the had some ren wax wiped on after assembly.

I did change out the refill to an easyflow 9000. Just like the way they write.

Thanks for the comments and limes.
