Here's one I just put up on my blog, finished it last night. Thought I would put it up here as well, so it can join the fun. I was asked to use this 'Classic Brown' material (from exoticblanks.com) in making one of my 'Classic' style pens (and so, 'Classic Brown Classic'...).

This one is done up in my standard sizing (1/2 x 28 cap to barrel, M10 x 1 nib section to barrel), but it is still pretty big. Here it is with a Pelikan M600 and a Visconti Wall Street for size reference. It is probably closer in size to an M800, but alas - I don't have one to picture it with (I hope to remedy that sometime this coming year).

The nib is a two-tone steel JoWo broad, which I will be grinding to a smooth stub.

Thanks for looking!

A great tradional looking pen. Is it a c/c filler?
