Plum bespoke pen

[sorins]

One of my very few bespoke fountain pens. It's made of plum wood, with olive wood for the finials and ebonite inserts for threads.
Instead of a clip I choose to attach a silver roll stopper. The nib is a custom engraved titanium Bock #6.

Beautiful work, such a pretty tone on the wood.

Beautiful work and very nice pictures, too. I like the roll stop, and that little bit of figuring in the section adds a nice touch.

Nice pen. How do you get the threats at the ebonite so shine?

What wonderful work.

Nice pen. How do you get the threats at the ebonite so shine?

I polished it before threading, just a little bit, with a sanding wax (mixture of wax and aluminium oxide), and, at the end, I applied a very thin coat of clear wax, this also reduce the friction and make the connection way smoother.
