Hello folks,

Just recently made a special pen for my wife's birthday, thought I would share.

This one is one of the Lava alumilites, but forget which name. I'm going with 'Land and Sea' :-)

This is one of my 'Shirt Pocket Fountain Pens' - the ones that are a decent size for daily carry, and post well for convenience. This one features a brass cap band, as well as inlays on each end of another similar alumilite. It is fitted with an 18K JoWo fine nib.

Happy wife.

Cheers,

Ken

Thats a beauty Ken.
I think your wife will love it.
"Land and Sea" fits this blank perfectly. Your pens are a true inspiration to dive deeper into penturning.
The inlays are really nice - i should give that a try, too.

best regards

Gerrit

Ken, nice pen!

Isn't it fun when you are making a pen for someone you know and the anticipation of finishing it and giving it to them.
