These are the first 2 Fountain pens I've turned .
#1 is Austrailian Blackwood .
#2 is Figured Walnut .

Very nice pens Doug!!! The blackwood looks kind of similar to the walnut.

 

[DCBluesman]

Handsome pens, Doug! The subtle bowing of the barrels lends an air of distinction.

 

[Gary]

Very nicely done, Doug.

Very nice Doug, I guess Ausy blackwood is brown. I bet you want some gold nibs for those babies. LOL, Haven't seen those type of pen kits as well.

You and others like you are convincing me that I need to try the Gent/Baron style. Those are nice pens!

 

[dougle40]

Thanks all .

I , personally , don't prefer a straight turned pen and I almost always add some type of dimension to one . I think that it gives a pen a little more class .

The Blackwood that I have ranges from a deep brown to what you see here . As for the $50.00 Gold Nibs - I don't think that they would go well with a $4.50 pen kit !!![]LOL[] The kit is from CSUSA , it's pictured on their site as a completely straight turned pen . Kind of drab!!

Beautiful work, Doug.

Very nice work Doug.

 

[Fleabit]

Nice work on those pens. I really like that pen style.

 

[KKingery]

Very nice Doug - class look.

Doug, very nice. Now, take the next step and make one of these beauties your daily pen. Once you get to writing with a fountain pen, you leave the others behind, except for those pesky multi-sheet carbonless forms!

Doug, great looking pens, they could be twins! []
