    Default Manu Propria - my first Roller

    Yesterday I finished my first Roller pen with urushi finish.
    The rollers are supplied by Schmidt Germany. My goal was to make the roller look a little bit like a fountain pen. Therefore I have shaped the brass tip similar to a nib with same size. I am still not sure if the design is good

    It's a beautiful piece. The urushi is simply stunning. To my eye, the brass piece is nicely proportioned and does evoke the sense of a fountain pen nib. I would say you were quite successful.
