Mica chunk bulb filler

[InvisibleMan]

I'm way behind posting pens, but this is one that I am particularly fond of, since it's mine:biggrin:. This is a bulb filler made from mica blue, light blue and chunks of pearly light and dark brown resin.

Let's see, 14mm triple start cap threads. Clear bulb for the last time. The plumbing isn't so ugly with ink in it:tongue:.

Thanks for looking!

Nice!
Must try one of these it looks so much easier to fill than a squeeze converter.
Is the clear section perspex?
Regards,
John

Thanks, John.

The ink window and reservoir tube are resin as well.

I guess I forgot to explain the weird plumbing. I wanted a 1cm ink window, but also wanted the sleeve to screw on up to the window so I wouldn't have a seam in the middle of the blue material. That required some adjusting to a typical ink window, including a reservoir tube to get ink capacity close to what you normally get with a bulb filler. This was a good first effort, and the pen holds plenty of ink for me, though I haven't measured capacity. I think I can do better next time though.
