A closed end kitless fountain pen, with an etched & cast lid.

[BradG]

I turned the pen body with quite a significant taper, and then ribbed it with light cuts spaced 2mm apart.

For the lid, I turned it to size and threaded, then etched to depth great enough to hold Polyester Resin. The piece was then cast, and turned back down to dimension - with a lot of sanding.

Thanks for looking :)

After just finishing an alloy pen I can appreciate the work that's gone it to completing this..
What a stunning pen you have produced and I love the idea of etching and then casting...

Thanks for the kind words chaps.

Yes, this one took a little while to make, but it was nice to brush up on a couple of skills again.

Hi Phil
Not on this occasion. I've made some rollerball sections, but I've been looking for a local supplier of Bock nibs before taking that step. 'Hello' :friendly_wink:

I was admiring this pen elsewhere yesterday Brad again today will come back over your work many times along with Skippy you have great skills and imagination , chemistry flows at yours mate. On this forum penmaking together with Georges world famous small objet d,art, Les in Canada. Better stop now naming people but Woody sure sets a standard of output and innovation from day one.Macorony Tony made a stunner recently. The standard of work is increasing almost daily on this forum.

My day is shortened with a kip in the afternoon but my creative self is uplifted when I see your work. Thank you for sharing with us mate. Yet another closed end example of creativity before our next competition involving closed ends.

Kind regards Peter.

When my eldest recently turned sixty enjoying her busy life it makes nearly 82 worth while with about 75 of us with Wilma me and the kids, their kids and theirs a few yrs ago it was suggested that break in the arvo could recharge batteries indeed it does.
