Sat afternoon fountain pen

[its_virgil]

Productive Sat afternoon. I can't recall the material but it is not urethane or epoxy. Had a distinct odor. I need to look at receipts and see if I can find it.

I would have thought it was wood if you didn't say otherwise. Nice pen!

I'm starting to learn acrylic species by smell. I'm not sure they list smells in the Resources. But I sure as hell know the ones that smell chippy.

I was going to spend this afternoon in the shop making one, but the day got ahead of me, so I figured I'd just make a section. Blew it apart when I rammed the drill bit into the end of it. It's a new lathe and I was rushing. Some days you gotta just surrender. I took the dog for a walk instead. Maybe I'll have one to post tomorrow.

This resin has a camphor odor.

I'd guess Celluloid - the real deal.

The pen I posted in this thread is going to a recent high school graduate. I made a rollerball section just in case.
