Having days off work is wonderful. Got to spend some more quality time in the workshop again today, and after several hours of enjoyable work, here is the result. This pen, one of my 'Shirt Pocket Fountain Pen' (SPFP) style pens was done out of this cool resin which once polished, resembles flames against a black background. Very eye-catching indeed.
I made this pen as a request for a colleague who plans to give it to her husband as an anniversary gift. Now I find myself eyeing the other two pieces I have of this material and thinking that I should make one of these for myself...
The nib is my usual, a steel JoWo medium, and the pen is a cartridge/convterter filler, with the converter installed in it. The gold coloured ball-end clip is held in place by the threaded finial.
The more I make these SPFPs, the more I like the design. Very simple, and very practical. Sized moderately to fit in the shirt pocket, it posts nicely - but can be comfortably used posted or not posted. I kept the first one I made of this design, and I think the next one I make for myself will be an SPFP too :-))
Thanks for looking!
Ken
