Nice blank

[talbot]

A friend gave me enough for a couple of pens. He'd had for a long long time and has no idea what it's called or where it came from.
Maybe I should have kept it for a better pen kit but I was keen to have a go at my first fountain pen and had a lot of fun in the process.
Wet sanded 180 through to 12000MM, Autosol, then T-cut.
I do like the way it came and I'm quite pleased with my first attempt.
Apologies for the camera shake!!
Regards, Bill

Great job Bill! That is a nice looking blank and the pics turned out great too. Doesn't look like a wasted effort at all.

Looks nice, I don't see a scratch on the acylic at all. My only suggestion would be to use chrome hardware instead of gold...it would match the colors in the acrylic better, but hell that's just my opinion.

Very beautiful blank and pen.

Looks real pretty from my chair, I wouldn't think of it as a wasted blank at all.
