I turned this one the other day. It is a Roman Harvest fountain pen in chrome and titanium and the barrel is a polygem called Crimson Tide which was recommended by Woody.
I hope the photo is not too bright!!!!

Pure class even for plastic it's nice.
Is that different Harvest to the norm. I seem to think they were blingier than that.

It is excellent to turn Woody and I did as you recommended and drilled the blank slowly.
In fact I think the lathe was running at 300rpm as I was using large drill bits!!!!!

Terry,

whatever the product is called gotta be better than dried up rubber, bits leather washers glued up tree bark, why because it has royalty with a suitable kit both better for the combination. I remember when people would join a long group of people just to see a big name penmakers latest, we are fortunate to have a blank recommended by a friend purchased and put to best use and voila here it is a thing of beauty and utility.

Well made and the pic is clear even this far away. Commendable and reliable mate.

Kind regards Peter.:rolling::goesred:
