Pens with a self-cast blank

It's actually a high Gloss finish, it's just the way I photographed it so that there wasn't much reflection.

Better get on and rub the shine off then - it looks bloody great as it is

If only it was that easy, maybe spraying it with a matt laquer?

Another couple of dip pens, both polyurethane. Not the most exciting of shapes, but I only had short blanks to work with - they're both about 5 inches long.
