With this pen, I have finally reached a goal that I have had for several years - to make a functional fountain pen with a classic appearance, that shows as much wood as possible, and looks nothing like a kit pen. It started life as an El Grande kit. The result is a large pen that weighs 28-grams with a full reservoir of ink. The cap threads are smooth, and the kit nib is an excellent writer.
Its only problem might be that the cap will not post. However, it has good balance and writes well without the cap.
The wood is Blood, and the finish is shellac over CA glue.
