Latest fountain pen: the Alpha

[jnpenworks]

It's been some time since posting an updated pen shot, so here's the latest, and first fully complete fountain pen I turned a week or so ago. I'm calling it the Alpha. Material is Avocado and Coconut swirl resin and all parts are hand turned and threaded on a Jet mini lathe. Clip was stolen from an old kit I wasn't using. Thanks for the feedback!

Looks good I like the green coloring

What I can see looks good. I would rather see the cap outside of the glass, and another photo with the cap and barrel together.

Looks very nice !!! . I also like the shade of green ... and the contrast with the coconut swirl.
I assume that the section is coconut swirl along with the center band and the cap finial.

What nib did you use ?

Looks good Jason. I like the colour combo.
What size thread did you use for the cap ?

 

[Dalecamino]

Yes, much better. Thanks.

Thank you! Yes the section, band and finial are also Coconut swirl...forgot to mention that.

The nib is a #6 Jowo steel nib.
