This is the same burr chestnut I made the last bowl with sanded to 600 with the lathe running and with it stationary along the grain polished with EEE and libron woodturnere stick the nibs are interchangable so it can be a F/P or rollerball

Lovely looking Burr, and great finish. Well made.
Made quite a few Empress Rollerball and FP.
Had an small order from a wedding organiser, she was selling them as register/guest signing pen as part of her wedding plan.
Made quite a few bob on that one.

I have been making them for years John on different kits the problems arise when the registrar refuses to let people use them which dose happen for several reasons the main one being the ink type
