Made it over the last two A.M.'s. Fitted with a #6 gilded medium point Bock nib. I had fun making it. Hope you like it. Doc:smile:

Great work Doc, as always. A knock out.

Lupe, Thanks so much!! Doc

Great looking pen Doc is that a 14mm or 12 mm

Thank you John ! It's a 14 mm. Doc

Stunning! Everything in harmony.

John, Thank you! Doc

Beautiful pen, Doc! I knew you bought some of those blanks. I was looking forward to seeing one of these completed. Awesome work!

Jason

Jason, Thank you for the kind words!! Doc
 
Wanted to make some changes.

I didn't like the cap length because the distance from the clip to edge of finial and the distance from the end of the clip to the end of the cap was disproportionate. Therefore, I went ahead and shortened the upper barrel. I think it looks better. The picture on the left is of the original pen and the one on the right is the one with changes. What do you think? Doc:smile:

I don't think there was really anything wrong with the original cap, but I do like the minor modifications you made improve the proportions of the pen. Great job as always.
 
Love it. I need to read the tutorial on threading. This is exactly what I want for a friend of mine affected by arthritis. I want to make a slighty fatter version.
