Worked nicely!

[Carl Pepka]

Thanks to all for the Casein advice, didnt have one problem other than the blanks being very thin width wise.

Wow!!! That is gorgeous. I'd kill for some blanks like that as I suspect many here would. Masterfully done.

That's a gorgeous pen (and blank)! If I may voice my first impression... I'm not convinced by the stripped section (but it might grow on me).

Nib is Alternate Casein

Thank you, sir. I dont mind sharing sources even though I've been ignored when asking others. https://www2.theturnersworkshop.co.uk/ If you order tell Vincent I sent you. I dont get anything for it but I'd like him to know. Lots of nice blanks.

I'll also vote for "that's excellent." The base blank is beautiful, and unique.

I do like the Casin for the section, but I would like to see something as a transition section between upper and lower blanks (Casin ?). this would be just to break up the transition (1/4"). The upper and lower do not line up, which is fine and expected, but a break in the visual may be nice. And I'll freely add that this may be a stupid idea!

Very cool Carl. Notwithstanding my thoughts, an excellent pen. Thanks for sharing.

When the front page gets started again, that one should be there!

Didnt want to get too complicated, this was just a test of the material to see if it was big enough for a pen and to see if I want to buy more. I agree with you as most of my pens have a piece as a transition between body and nib.

Thanks, Hank.

I succumbed to the desire and temptation and ordered some of that material. Thanks a lot. Or perhaps I should say Thanks a lot.

All the best.

When Conway Stewart was auctioned off he was the only one to bid on material and he got it all and I do mean all.
