I showed the prototype of this pen in the Freestyle contest , but I'm not really sure if anyone saw it with all the silliness that was going on at the time . I made some changes and this is what I came up with.
This is Twindows v2.0 . It is made from some Bloodwood and Osage Orange , some Brass and aluminum and a cigar transmission with a parker type refill . It is unique in that you operate the pen by twisting the inner barrel (the Osage Orange part) to extend or retract the refill hence the name Twindows (Twist Window) . It works very smoothly and has a nice feel to it , I even got this one the right length . The refill is replaced by unscrewing the nib .
As always , comments welcome .
Thanks for looking .
