Triton in Malachite

[G1Pens]

I've made a couple fountain pens on request. Most were lower end. I did do a couple Jr Statesmen that came out nice. This is my first spec fountain pen. It is a Triton in banded malachite Tru-stone. This is my first Tru-stone pen. I figured it was time to step up and give it a try. I love it. I don't know how the Malachite compares to other Tru-stones, but right now, it is my favorite material to turn.

I am very happy with the way it turned out. I think I got everything right. The finish is good (MM12000) the fit is good and I like the color combination. This will be my desk pen for a while.

Comments welcomed but as always, thanks for looking.

Gary, It's beautiful!

With this particular blank was it necessary to paint the tubes and reverse paint the blank?

Nope. The blank I'd very opaque. I didn't paint either.

every time I look at the blank I think it doesn't look good. Then I see it turned and put on a kit such as this and think I better get a few pieces of that to try.
