Turned it this A.M. It's a Paua Abalone blank from Classic Nib on a Rh/Blk Ti Emperor Fountain Pen. The true magician behind this creation is Ken Brown who makes these works of art. Hope you like it. Doc
Looks great. You just need to swap the IPG kit nib. (Not because there's anything wrong with it, just because I think a nib without gold would look better:wink
I still can't get my head around the superb way the strips of MOP are cut and fitted to the tubes. Top class!!

OOPS...I meant a buck...or a bock or something like that:biggrin:.
Guys they are cut here is a close up of one, He cuts them and then cuts an angle on the edges to match up going around the brass tube. each strip is approx. 1/8 inch wide. I have destroyed one of my blanks to make sure of this.
Roy all my Abalone casting were Wrap ONLY, NO scoring on the sheets at all, Just gently "wrap and roll " "Not Rock & roll" I don't know what is IIRC?
But look very close on the pen show in his thread and you can see the cracks on the casting, and since I made Many of these casting I know from my experiance cracking means wrapping does this make sense to you? Louie
are you going to be making more paua blanks soon?
