Cool Mint Water Cone-end Cigar Fountain Pen

Despite the enormous amount of work these transparent acrylics take, I was so taken with the last one (once I re-did it, that is) that it did not take much convincing to try it again.  So, this order came up and I jumped at it.  And, even had enough material left over to create a matching pen rest!

The transparent acrylic really is quite tricky - drilling speed need to be at a snail's pace, and the polishing of the inside is incredibly time-consuming.  That is especially true because you can't see any faults in the finish until you are completely done.  Then, 'there that blemish in the finish…gotta start over again'…  Still, I am quite pleased with this one.  I did have to do make a second barrel, as I forgot to drill super slowly the first time, resulting in a barrel that even when sanded and polished inside, had lots of tiny surface fractures (crazing).  I only had to re-polish the cap once.

This pen is fitted with a medium steel JoWo nib, as well as a colourless converter to allow showing off of ink :-)

Thanks for looking!
