Virage with MarkD Custom Blank

[TonyL]

As usual with my pics, they never do a blank justice. MarkD made several custom colors for me. This is actually a beautiful turquoise with hemlock cones. The pic doesn't reflect its real color.

My only regret is that I under-turned the lower barrel. I really don't like it to exceed the diameter of the upper barrel (just my preference).

It's my first Virage FP, and I have found the nib to write smoothly.

2 coats of thin Mercury CA, 10 coats of medium, P2-10 accelerator.

Then finished as described below (no water).

That's a beautiful blank.

Glorious Blank Tony,
Excellent Finish.
The Photograph, with the pen held between your fingers, distracts me from the Pen it's self, as such, I cannot easily determine whether it is the amount of undercut, or is it the overlap of your fingers.
I would much prefer to see the Profile of the Pen standing alone.
Brian.

This may be easier to see - but I gotta say, my pics go from bad to worse.

 

[MarkD]

That came out great Tony!

 

[TonyL]

Thank you Mark. You made then; I just turned them

 

[Tom T]

Looks very nice sir. I can not see the over turn you mentioned.

 

[TonyL]

Thank you. Underturned
