Olympian Closed End Fountain pen.

My "Big Grabber" closed end pen mandrel arrived today from over the Water so had to have a play, did not have bushings and i turned the lower blank slightly too thin

Here is an Olympian Closed end fountain pen made using Lapacho

Not sure about the kit Johnny and unfortunate on the bushing but you are turning out some lovely stuff nowadays

Only criticism is that kitchen roll is not for life - so a better background would really help IMHO !

I like that Johnny mate

Shame about the size mate but it's a lovely bit of timber and finish!

 

[Bill Mooney]

It's a pity it's too thin but a nice pen for all that.

Brave pic mate neat start on the way using your new mandrel calipers help but you know that.

Yep, its a shame about under size Johnny, but you done a great job on the top half my friend ..

Pity about the undercut on the lower section. Otherwist it would have been a very attractive pen

 

[wm460]

Shame about the size, otherwise a top looking pen.

Job well done on the closed ends.
Too bad on the overturn.
