Green Bamboo!

Of all the styles of fountain pen that I have come up with, the 'Bamboo' style has been the most frequently requested.  Not entirely sure why, but I suppose the combination of a large size pen with an interesting shape strikes a chord with some people.   What characterizes this style is the bamboo-rod-like shape complete with nodes and inlet ends.

In any case, I got a request for a Bamboo style pen in a green swirl acrylic which the fellow who ordered it picked out.

Overall, I rather like it - while it is not as 'bambooey' as the polyresin pen I have made so many of (this website's background pic), it has a nicer feel to it.  Acrylic is slightly softer and I think more comfortable than the polyresin.

One of these days, I will have to build one of these for me...
