First Aquilo.....

[Padster]

My daughter recently bought me some wood, in amongst it was some Black Limba, and I'd said I'd make her something of her choice from the wood of her choice.....so here we have an Aquilo dressed in Black Limba....

Never heard of that wood, but it's paired lovely with that Aquilo....beautiful job

Thanks - Nice to use and good for a simple ball point, besides makes a change as like @flexi I'm guilty of loving a Leveche!

Maybe I'm chicken .
So far I haven't tried a fountain pen as yet. I have 3 Omega fountain pens and are still in the box complete with bushes and drill. Before anyone asks I picked up some plastic boxes from Homebase when I first got them price was £2.50 and last time I bought them they where £1.50. So have one for each pen that I have bought and made.......
