Don't remember where I got the blank from.

Used an M13x.8 for the body and M10x.75 for the section.

Cheap Chinese nib for now. I can't afford Jowo's yet.

Working on getting a taper on the pen section. This was all done on metal lathe. Will try making a new pen section on wood lathe with hand tools.

That's nice, good job. Turning tapers on the metal lathe aren't hard. The section is the easiest due to the short length. I can usually get it in one pass with the compound set at the required angle.
Machining tapers in the body and cap may take resetting the saddle but the angle stays the same so it's not bad.
Good luck
