A Closed End Omega Fountain pen in Gun,etal. Made using a dyed & stabilised Box Elder with melamine finish

Are there any 7mm pens with the mechanism at the clip end. Glen:face:

First try with a closed end kit, Majestic jr Rhodium Gold dressed with birdseye mapple and ebony. Not really satisfied how the cap turned out, the finial seems me a little bit too big. The body of the pen is much longer vs a standard pen body. Comments and critics welcome...

An original Closed end Fountain pen made using thuya burr, includes Bespoke Daffodil Clip and finished with melamine lacquer and renaissance wax.

Knocked this out today. Couldn't get a decent finish on the end grain on the inside which sort of kills it a bit

I plan to get some wood in to store for future use, i though i would seal the end grain with wax but have no idea where to get it. I am guessing it does not have to be super duper wax just the cheap variety as it will just seal the grain. I have an old pressure cooker i use in the garage so that...

Well he did with his dip pen question!! So then he posted a link and I just had to have a go!! Coincidentally I got invited by a winery to go and exhibit and demonstrate at an open doors season in their place, the theme being their barrels, their barrel staves, or their vine pickets. So I...

My pair of matching Mistrals, fountain pen and roller-ball dressed in Conway Stewart Bracket Brown. I was really "brickin-it" when preparing/turning/finishing/assembling, and all for no reason because they turned out ok in the end I think :rolling: The quality of the kit is, as expected...

Fed up of clamping featherboards to my saw table I looked for ideas and came up with this. Don't know if it's been tried before but in my usual fashion cost me nothing as I had everything already. No drawings just an idea that developed as I went along and I may make another featherboard to fit...

I have been threatening to do this for a long time, finally got around to do it. Biggest hold up was HSS, cobalt drills and end mill's wouldn't cut through the hardened stainless steel of the calipers, finally the carbide end mill arrived and it went through like hot knife though soft...

Hi Penturners, I have found this mandrel in my filing cabinets after a lot of searching, I need a little bit more information on whether this is for Closed end Pens or as I Googled ..it seems to look like a bit similar to Duck Call Style mandrels sold in USA... If anyone knows Seller or has...

Hi I am looking at the MT1 Big Grabber Closed end Mandrel, and wondering if you can just buy the spares as I already have the Mandrel, I have noticed with other Closed End Mandrels on the market, they open up at the end to grip tube internally very securely..this one just seems to have a bit of...

I tried to get motivated this week end, I started to turn a few pen blanks that were sitting on my bench. Had a blow out on the end of this one, not sure how to fix this. :sob: Use that colour coded sand paper by mistake, quality control not very good at the manufacturer. :rant::rant...

Ok thats what i call them, they have to soft rubber tip for dobbing on your smart phone instead of sausage fingers that cover two or three characters at once. I have one that has has split, does anyone know where i can just get the rubbers. On my one the gold collar screws off and you can take...

Various woods in closed end omegas fountain and rollerballs

More of an "upscale" than an out and out "turning" tbh. I am currebtly recycling an old curtain pole into tealight snowmen and wondered what I could do with the old end caps. The finial was removed and the hollow cut for the glass holder, a severe sanding back to remove the horrid original...

Today hasn't been very productive...but it's been a huge learning curve.... I had this great idea of making a batch load of Scribe pens with a walnut and maple stripey pattern...mainly because I've sold a couple already and been asked for some more. So last night I prepared the wood and made a...

Today saw me start the most "erse clenching" order to date, after an old workmate wanted 4 "high end" fountain pens. After discussing the build options with him he chose Mistrals from "Beaufort Ink" and a variety of hybrid blanks from George Watkins over at "From The Tree". As I'm new to this...

Blank from melting a couple of weeks ago! Turned it a little bit too much :rolling:
