    Default Blue Nebula Cigar Style fountain pen

    *ON HOLD*




    This pen (which I just finished) is made from the second of a set of blanks that I bought from the excellent pen maker, Jonathan Brooks. This one was initially referred to as teal pearl with black, but once I began to turn the blank and see the gorgeous star-like swirls, I had to rename it Blue Nebula (which makes me happy). The camera doesn't quite catch the beauty of this shimmering material - truly gorgeous, and another winner for sure.





    Once again, I decided to make a Cigar style pen to maximally show off the material, and glad I did so. The pen is not a commission, but like some pens that I do when I get executed to try out new materials, is unspoken for, and thus going up for sale (I already have too many pens. There. I said it).



    The dimensions of the pen are 154 mm capped, 140 mm uncapped, and just over 15 mm diameter. The fill system is cartridge/converter, and the converter pictures is supplied.



    The nib currently installed in the pen is a polished steel JoWo fine nib, but I would be happy to swap out for your choice of F,M,B, or 1.1 mm stub. Or, if you want a custom grind to cursive italic or fine/medium stub, it would be an extra $20.

    I am looking for $135 plus shipping ($20 to US or Canada, elsewhere please ask about ship costs). If interested, please email me at kencavers@gmail.com. Or PM, but I prefer email, as the PM box sometimes fills up.

    *ON HOLD*

    Thanks for looking!
