Ahead of the curve. Waaay ahead.



The blank for this one (and another I will post soon) was chosen because it had a really nice "grain" pattern and I wanted to see if it was worth trying to align the grain even though I lose .045 to the saw blade and .260 to the thread tenon, out of the middle. I have decided that it is, and when I post a pic of it closed you'll see what I mean. It's quite easy to do grain alignment of a custom if you do it fairly early in the process.

I did polish the inside of the cap because of its translucency. Think I got it pretty clean. Number six, fine-point Edison nib and feeder. I think I will make a rollerball nib for it as well. I've got the dimensions completely standardized, the flowchart set, and I've done enough of these to give this type a name. I'm going call this the "Axia." (Starts with an "A", next type I name will start with a "B".) Probably should have photographed it against a grey background. I dunno.

Comments critiques welcome.
