Duotone Wood Fountain Pen

[ValleyBoy]

Some of you may have already seen this one elsewhere but thought I’d share it here too.

It’s a fully lined fountain pen made from African Black Wood and Thuya Burr with sterling silver accents. The finials and section are Italian acrylic and the nib is a Bock no 6.

There are 25 components in this one and 22 are made by me (everything excluding nib, coin and converter).

It was fun to make and came out how I imagined it. Perhaps not everybody’s taste but I will make more based on the reaction I received from the ‘grammers.

Feedback always welcomed.

Cheers
Ash

That is one very special pen.

What's not to like on that, the segmenting is extremely well proportioned and contrasts well with the silver lifting it....
Another wee cracker mate!

Thank you. It’s the melamine finish described by Phil on Beaufort Ink website. I just knock it back with wire wool after the first coat so it isn’t glossy.
