A new six-color brown DiamondCast blank made it into my last package from Tim McKenzie. As usual, the amazing sparkle is almost completely lost in my photos, but holding it in bright natural light takes one's breath away This fountain pen features a gold #5 Bock nib and gold pocket clip (from Beaufort) and very dark brown Alumilite section and accents. (Tim cast that for me too - I think he just feels sorry me.)

I would like to note that he even wrapped my blanks this time (as he does everyone else's) and - better yet, he used classy black tissue instead of pink like last time. (Thanks, Tim.)

You've been busy.
Good looking pen Greg, and yes the "sparkle is elusive".
Maybe Tim should show us :winking:

I was last in Costco and I think if you use the new strip lights as they do in their show cases for watches and jewelry it could answer your questions. Easily made using a transformer and you can buy the lights in strips of many.

I do like your penmaking.

Peter.
