My latest custom ordered pen - dark lapis from r and b crafts (most beautiful gold veining!) and lots of Abranet (thanks Rudy.)

Critiques welcome.

Chris, I for one think that blank is perfect for this kit. Sometimes gaudy looks good, with this kit, it works. I have been wanting this kit for a while and have that same exact blank saved just for the day I pull the trigger on yet another fountain pen for myself. [;)]

I also might just run some Diamine Sepia ink in it just to work off the gold trimming. [:D]

Chris, Looks great, I too think it's a smashing combination, but I could be biased. [:)] I've made three of these and sold two. I think the blue lapis was made for this kit.

Lee, when you make your fountain pen, it might come out something like this... [:D]

The second picture is closer to the actual color. Still learning the photo stuff.

Thanks for the nice compliments. This was ordered (and delivered this morning) to a customer with a pocket full of Waterman pens. He wanted something gaudy to show off. He is a marketing consultant who wants to get my business off the ground - willing to work for pens.
