Rainbow pen

[wimkluck]

It took me quite some time to dry, color and bake the blanks. Unfortunately, not all colors come out bright enough. The yellow colors are not what I had hoped for.
From left to right, black, blue, green, wine red, red, orange and bright yellow. I have also made a few gold en yellow blanks but the yellow colors look the same.
When I look at the picture I see a small white spot on the red. polishing compound I assume. The pen is finished with gluboost. The wood is spalted maple burl.

A blue-ribbon pen. Very nice in concept and workmanship.

I like it. The segments look good and the colors are good. Because I have not seen the picture in your head, I'd rate this a winner.

Nice look. What kit is that? Looks like a long body for a click pen.

It is the Berlin . The length of the glued blank is 97mm / 3.8189 inch. There are several models of the berlin. Schmidt hardware if I am correct.

Interesting. Thank you. Does anyone know of an English version of this exact pen kit?? I love the long body to show off blanks. It has a short nib compared to many kits that have such large nibs and even finials such as the Sierras. The lines and shape of the kit is clean and not trying to hard.
