slimline with ebony centre band

[brody2123]

My favorite on from today. Went with the darker centre band, and a bit of aluminium to break it up a bit. Brown oak and ebony, sanded to 1200 grit, friction polish and microcrystalline wax finish.

Nice one mate I like it with the Ebony C B makes it a more attractive pen

Took the good advice on that one mate, and I agree, it is better.
Cheers

I like the mix on this one..

BUT... Is it me or does the nib look offset and slightly stepped on the left hand side in the picture. Could be a shadow but looks slightly out of centre. Or not round..

I like that Brody! I did one yesterday with a blackwood centre band, ill see if I can get a piccie and post it up later.

How open was the grain? Did it need a bit of filling with the polish?

Cheers Ed. The grain was as open as the red sea after that moses fella had been along
I did add a coat of sealer after sanding. Probably should have mensioned that earlier

Looking forward to seeing your pic mate!

Lovely pen Brody,how come you go so high with the sanding grits? I usually stop at 600,any advantages of going higher?

Cheers Matt. It was just to get as smooth a blank as possible before adding any finish, as the grain was very open.
