Ivory Celluloid and Black Acrylic

[drgoretex]

Hi all,

Here's a pen I just finished a couple of days ago, thought I would post some pics.



This was not actually a custom order, but one of those much needed 'just felt like doing it' pens. Had a piece of this cool ivory celluloid just begging to be used, so here's what I came up with.

This is really nice stuff - has a very prominent grain to it; turns wonderfully on the lathe; smells awesome (camphor) while working it. I decided to frame the celluloid with black ends rather than make the whole thing out of the same material - to my mind, it puts more focus on the celluloid that way. But I suppose that's an individual preference kinda thing. I fitted this pen with a 1.1mm stub nib.





Well, not much else to say. Thanks for looking!

Cheers,

Ken
