Matching Pair

[Skydivermel]

Evening all,
I've been asked to make a matching pair (fountain and ballpoint) pens in Ebony.

Can anyone suggest a good quality kit pair. This is for a gentleman's 60th Birthday

Thank you

Hi Melvyn.
Phil at Beaufort do these.
Beaufort Mistral high end pen kits.
They also do the ebony blank.
Hope this helps.
There is also the 10% discount for forum members for pen kits.

I agree try Phil.

HERE are the fountain pen and roller ball but if you go to his site you will also see the matching kit which takes the ballpoint pen

A 3rd from me, try Phil. Top kits in a range of finishes.

For convenience and ease of purchase the Mistral should fill the bill. Be very aware Ebony is a tricky timber over here the best quality is rare as ,it has a definite history of splitting, faults from within etc,subject to overheating easily during drilling and the sanding process.

Would Phils Ebonite be an alternative to tricky Ebony?

 

[Dalboy]

Not tried to turn any yet even though I have some why not try African black wood if you want to use wood.

I have turned Phils ebonite. It turned fine, usual micro mesh and then microcrystalline finish.

Noted Gents,
I'm about to order the kits and I'll have a look at the ebonite. To be honest I like the thought of Ebonite, nice and stable and easy to finish.

Thanks for the recommendations gents. Feel free to get in touch if I can help or answer any questions Melvyn.

The Mistral is a superb Pen.
