My "Best of" Fountain pen entry

[Glenn McCullough]

I guess it's ok to show them now, so here is mine. It is a segmented pen but I am more satisfied with it as an attractive fountain pen than a segmenting challenge.
It is a Gentlemans pen in curly koa and alternative cassein with Bock nib instead of the stock one shown.

I don't think your supposed to show em until the judging is over.

rule 9. Individuals entering this contest should not post pictures or descriptions of their pens in any public forum prior to the final entry deadline. After the entry deadline you may post pictures and descriptions of your entry pens.
I hope I read it right....the final entry deadline, not the judging deadline.

maybe I am wrong. I like the pen and have wondered how you do it since the first one I saw.

I'll let him answer the why, but I noticed that as well and really like the effect.

 

[Glenn McCullough]

for the effect is the right answer. I am not a fan of bellied pens, but when its done in a way that makes one scratch his head and ask "How'd he do that?" That, I like.

The how of design and assembly I get, it's the finish process that I'm scratching my head on at the moment

Very well done by the way.

 

[Fishinbo]

I love it. This deserves a gentleman's applause.

I don't know why but my first reaction was to think of Sam Maloof. I think if he had been a pen turner he would have made something like that! Very Nice!

Fantastic! Very nice work.
