This pen is dedicated to my friend and teacher Justin (Timebandit). I made it over a period of several early mornings. I call it Oro after the golden hue of the resin with the gold nib and clip. It reminds me of a fountain pen in my collection made by Delta of Italy with a similar name. This one is made from orange Italian resin and has a #6 Medium Bock nib. I hadn't made a kitless pen in a while…..felt like back at square one in the shop…anyway…. Hope you like it. Thanks for looking. Doc:smile:

You rocked that one Doc! I can see the teacher has done his job well. What's next in your bag of tricks?
 
What a way to come back on forum! If I wore a hat, it would be off to you. What a beauty, it is absolutely stunning.
Leave it to Ed to come up with breakfast, however, that is definitely a table piece, under glass with an armed guard.
Amazing.

Mike, Thanks ! I used the resin that looks like that of the Delta Dolce Vita series. One of series that I have, the Dolce Vita Oro is the one I used as model for my creation. LOL...Mine is pretty crude compared to it but I
liked the orange color with the gold fittings. It has a warm look to it. Think I will post a picture of the Delta.
 
The Dolce Vita Oro from Delta

This is the Delta Dolce Vita Oro pen that I really like. I was just trying to achieve that look. LOL.... I don't think Delta has anything to worry about with regard to competition:rolleyes:. Doc

Max, Thanks! LOL...I..Ok...others notice a rise in my irritability levels when I don't turn...so my wife kicks me out of the house for shop therapy...I guess it's better than her throwing sharp kitchen utensils at me.:eek:
