Not my first kitless fountain pen, by far, but the first one I feel confident selling! The Troubadour "Lyric!"
It's made of Black Walnut with Hard Maple accents. It will also be available in the reverse - Hard Maple with Walnut accents. It is ALL wood INCLUDING the clip. The only exceptions are the nib assembly and ink converter. All press fit as well. No threads! The lines behind the nib section are burned in with strings from my own guitars. The nib itself is a Jinhao 82 - sport tuned by me. The body's maximum OD is 11.5 mm and the entire thing, full of ink weighs in at about a quarter ounce. I am going for a very old craftsman like vibe with this one. Sanding is only down to 400 grit and finish is handrubbed shellawax so that you FEEL the wood. It will patina with the user's hands over the years. I'm very proud of it and want to know what the community thinks as I very must respect the opinions of the experts here!
Peace, Love, and All the Good Things to you all!
Happy Turnings, All!
