A simple, classy pen for a classy lady. Black Ebonite, mothers day edition.
I'm experimenting with different barrel shapes for posting purposes. I knew that posting was important for this one so I tried this funky steep tapering. The awkward thing is that the barrel should go past the threads and ideally post at the entrance to the cap instead of at the threads. Since the difference in diameter is small, and the cap should post deeply, this requires a sort of awkward tapered shape. It looks more normal on pocket pens, and I intentionally made it look more like a sudden step in this design. Making a pen post is awfully awkward and I would like to stop bothering with to be honest, but lots of people like it. It adds a boatload of complexity to the overall design.
