Red/Black Ebonite Kitless Fountain Pen

[wizard]

Finished making it early this A.M. It's a Red/Black Cumberland Kitless Fountain Pen with a medium #6 Gilded Bock Nib. It's postable. I'm really like working with this particular kind and color of Ebonite. The pen was a dust magnet...I just gave up and went with these pictures. Anyway, I enjoyed making it. Hope you like it. Doc

That's perfect doc...love the straight lines. Is that the 12 or 14 mm T&D set?

Doc, all I can say it looks good from here, so if you still think it's to long I have a spot that it will fit perfectly in my curio cabinet. See you next week....

Beautiful work!

Another beautiful work, Doc! That cumberland is pretty cool (if aromatic) stuff, isn't it? One of my favourites.

Cheers,

I like the looks of it and thanks for posting, it reminds me that I have a ton of ebonite and should go make a few pens, hope they turn out as nice as yours!

I am curious about the ring or spacing between the feed housing and the section, is there a reason for it or is that just how you like to make it?

Lovely pen, Doc. Great lines!

OK now Doc! I'm breathing your dust:redface: I'll have to get in gear and, try to catch up with you. This pen is very nice. :wink:

Great looking pen, love the lines and the blank. Must get me some ebonite and play with that.

Interesting to see a pen made with the 14mm tap & die set.

George, Thank you! Regarding the space...I could use your help....I'm not sure whether to let the rim of the feed housing sit directly down on the chamfer at the front of the section...I worry that the feed housing may not be screwed in all the way. If I were more precise with the depth of the threading....I would probably not have to do that...don't know if I'm making any sense... Doc

Lovely pen, Doc. Great lines!

Robert, Thank you! Doc
