Satin Ebony Custom

[firewhatfire]

I decided I wanted to do an ebony pen. The threaded sections are alumilite. I finished it with lacquer and steel wool. I made a ebony pillow for it so it would t roll away. I placed a bock nib in medium on it and inked it with Tanzanite Private Reserve ink to see how well it wrote. Comments and critiques are welcome and thanks for looking.

Wow! That is a stunning pen. Thanks for sharing.

I like it, in particular its non-brand-new look. It looks like a very well cared for pen that has a history to tell.

Somehow, I feel this pen could use a subtle adornment, like the artist's or the owner's initial at the distal end of the barrel or near the top of the cap. Maybe it's because the pen reminds me a little of Nakaya.

Nice work, Phil!

Very nice indeed, the shape of the section in particular appeals to me.

Thanks for the comments and the comparison. I am looking to add a makers mark on my pens. I guess I need to start exploring my options on how to do one that best suits my pens.

Anyone have a recommendation for such as that?
