mistral

A Mistral FP made for a friend. The pen is dressed in African Blackwood.

Hi All, 1st 1 of the new year and starting with a Mistral pencil in double dyed burl...... PSI blank orange and black

Hi all, I tend to do a lot of Levech fountain pens and indeed after this one sold The customer now wants a pencil in a similar jacket, OK I can sort the blank but what kit should I use? Beaufort Mistral? Sirocco (with pencil conversion) I don't want to go slim/streamline (or should I?) are there...

Hi all, Another George Watkins blank, this time on a Mistral... (those that don't know if you tube up a blank with Levech tubes it also works with the Mistral FPs and vice versa)

Beaufort Mistral Fountain Pen, turned from one of our ‘Pearl Wedding’ Pen Blanks.

Hi guys, can anyone tell me if the 0.5mm Mistral pencil kit can be changed to a 0.7mm with a new insert from Beaufort Ink? I made one for someone with 0.5mm to use for crosswords but he keeps breaking the lead. Rather than buy a new pencil to replace it I'd rather buy the 0.7mm pencil insert...

Hi all, I'm about to turn my first acrylic, I've painted the inside of the drilled holes as Phil advised. I have bought micro mesh and will use them up to their highest grit as the finish. Before I start, is there anything else I should consider? I want to turn it slim, but wonder if this...

I've been having sleepless nights dreaming of making this pen waiting for the bits to arrive. Ebony and Rhodium plated Mistral fountain pen. My favourite project to date and this more than replaces the Mont Blanc I recently sold to pay for pen turning bits ;-) (not sure why the picture has...

I turned a blank for a mistral ball pen. It was like turning glass every time I touched it it was a nightmare. I could not get the cut blank to glue to the brass tube. I made the pen but you can rotate the body and the top of the pen by hand. I have used loads of glue but to no avail. I am...

Afternoon, I search high and low for acrylics that catch the eye and match the pen. Honestly I don't go for garish colours (I wear dark glasses when I turn them on request). This is a Mistral in Rhodium, steel Bock nib (F) and a Lapis Blue acrylic. As ever critiques and comments please...

Had some of these kits for ages finally got round to making one. Gold Tempest on wood from my Aussie burr box

Hi All, A few weeks ago I was turning a Beaufort kit and thought it would be nice to have a matching pencil. I asked Phil if he had any thoughts on a pencil kit in the future and he informed me that there was already a kit in the Mistral range. He also mentioned that the pencil refill can be...

Hi everyone, I recently acquired a grabber mandrel (single size collet chuck) because I wanted to try a closed end pen. Next up will be a double blind pen, maybe with a clip. Pen is a Beaufort Ink Mistral. You comments or critique are welcome as always. Best regards, Tom

Just teasing, Omega Mistral. Cracking looking pen. Brad

A Titanium & Titanium gold plated Mistral Rollerball & Pencil set. Made using Historical Oak from Nelsons Flagship HMS Victory.

This is a beautiful material, Green Casein.Strange stuff. Heat is important when drilling, but worth the wait! The only photo I've got at the moment. On a Mistral of course. Peter

Made a Mistral Ballpoint to go with the fountain pen, just love the way this stuff "Turns" out ... Cheers Brad

Have turned nothing for many months, until yesterday. My missus says it's like waiting for a bus, nothing for ages then they all arrive together! :rolling: Glued up a batch for later, mostly slimlines but a couple of JR gents and a sedona in that lot as well, also drilled and glued up a few...
