Tortoise shell resin kitless pen

[jalbert]

Fresh out of the shop. I wanted to make a pen that was somewhat vintage styled, so I came up with this. A flat top fountain pen in a very glowing and radiant tortoise shell resin. I added some fine knurling to the barrel and cap, and made the trim from Argentium silver, which I engraved. It's a modest sized pen, measuring in at about 5.25" capped. It has 13mm triple lead cap threads. It uses a jowo 6 nib.

Really like the knurling, adds a touch of class without going overboard.

What variety of resin is it?

Thank you. I just used a single wheel style knurling tool in my metal lathe.

Wow, I love this, everything about it! I even like that it is "modest sized" as some fountain pens are too bulky in my opinion. Your metal crafting is superb, as always!
