Green Swirl Cigar Fountain Pen with Matching Pen Rest



Just finished this one up last night.  Tweeted a few low-quality iPhone pics from the shop, but had an opportunity today to snap off a few better ones.





The one who ordered this pen picked out the eye-catching green acrylic, and decided on a 'Cigar Style' fountain pen.  I have done a number of these before, but I don't believe I have made a Cigar in this material.  She requested that the pen be fitted with a two-tone fine nib (steel, JoWo of Germany), which has been smoothed and tuned to write well.  The pen equipped with a converter to load with ink.




The buyer also requested a matching pen rest, so I used the end-pieces of the blanks for the barrel and the cap, added a decorative band of black acrylic in the centre, and put it together.  All in all, I am pretty content with the product.

Thanks for looking!

Black and Red Curvy Fountain Pen



Hello folks,  Here is the latest off my bench, just finished this evening.

This custom order was based on a black and yellow curvy fountain pen I did some time ago, but with the modification of substituting the yellow swirl with red swirl.  Good choice, it seems, as it appears to work pretty well.



The pen is made of acrylic, my favourite material.  The barrel is basically black, but with an red swirl inlay on the end to tie it to the rest of the pen.  The cap is red with black trim, and a red swirl inlay on the end to match the barrel.



The pen is fitted with a fine steel JoWo nib unit, as well as a very nice converter.

Would be happy to hear feedback.

Cheers,

Ken
