Matte Black Ebonite 'Bamboo' Style Fountain Pen



Yes, another Bamboo.  This style seems to be a very popular one!  This pen was ordered by a pen lover in Singapore, who requested that it be made in black ebonite, with a matte finish.



Doing the matte finish was actually a lot of fun, and I am pretty happy with how it came out.  Kind of a cool, 'stealth' look to it.  I may have to try doing some more classic style fountain pens in this material and finish..



This pen is fitted with a two-tone medium JoWo (German) steel nib, which has as usual been write-tested, adjusted and smoothed.




Hope its new owner likes it as much as I do!

Anyhow, thanks for having a look.

    That clean organic style of your bamboo pens makes them so popular! This one is killer, I love the matte finish. Must have been a bit of a challenge to get a nice even scratch pattern on black! Great looking pen.
