This past weekend I did a demonstration for a group of pen makers in Atlanta. They wanted to learn more on how to make a FP from scratch. There was a great turnout and hopefully they left inspired to give this a try themselves. The pen came out very nice so I wanted to share it here. The material is of my own design and is VERY bright! Originally I had made the front section out of the same material, but once it was all done I wasn't to sure about it. I thought the pen needed a break in the color so I made a new section in solid black to add that contrast. It would be very difficult to lose this pen!
Here are the specs:

Capped - 6"
Body + Nib - 5 3/8"
Cap - 2 1/2"
Weight:
20g without ink
