The Emperor and his Court

[OKLAHOMAN]

No show this week end and just recived some trustone from CSUSA.Also had some Exibition grade Amboyna Burl that I got from them a few months ago. Emperor is a rollerball and both Jr. Emperors are fountain pens. Trustone turns like butter (I think I'm in love)must order more. All comments bad and good welcome.

What's not to like! Beautiful work, but I think the Amboyna may be adopted, since it doesn't look anything like it's parent or sibling []

Great looking pens! I love Trustone as well....those shavings just dance off the skew......

 

[mrcook4570]

That certainly is a good looking group!

Wow that truestone is nice, now I think i am hearing the voices[]

 

[AFTim]

I'm more partial to wood...so I feel the Amboyna is the "True Emperor" of that group

Very nice work.

And I think I am too, from the trustone in my shop that looks just like that pen.

I'm a wood fanatic, but I have to admit those truestone are gorgeous. That's my favorite color too. Nice job.

Beautiful pens! Did you have much trouble turning the tru-stone? Kirk[8D]

Barry remember all families have a black sheep but few as good looking[]! And Kirk the Trustone really turns nice and also drills nice,but a bit expensive @ $8.99[}] each.Thats why I use it on high end kits[].

Lookin good Roy---did I tell you I got some of that same Amboyna stashed away---Good old Nils remembered me----[8D]

They look great. A word of caution... As butter as those might turn don't take that as the norm of all true stone. Blue lapis is very very very though to turn. trust me. It is very duable but by no means is butter nor even close to it.

You asked. I think the trustone looks chintzy and wastes a kit that demands worthy materials like your ambonya. That is beautiful.

Roy,
I've never seen Trustone live & in person and don't know what it feels like but I like how it looks on these kits even though I'm a wood first person.
From a sales perspective, my guess is there's a lid for that pot. That'll be the critical test. []

Oh Lordy, I'm hearing them too[]

Beautiful pens Roy!!!!!!!!!!

 

[NavyDiver]

Fantastic pens! That emperor looks really big.

Great pens, and I agree, the Blue Lapis Trustone is a royal pain to turn. Ended up losing two blanks trying to turn it, gave up, too expensive to keep loosing blanks. Had no problems with the Turquoise or the Blanco Nero, won't go near the blue lapis again. [!]
