'Urushi Red' Bamboo Style Fountain Pen

This is another of my 'Bamboo' style fountain pens, done up in a specially ordered acrylic, which was called 'Urushi Red' for it's dark reddish brown urushi-like colour quality.  Nice looking material, and enjoyable to work with.

I was asked by the one who ordered it to make it as slim as I could while still using a #6 nib.  I shaved a fair amount off the diameter, making the cap as thin as is sound, which allowed for a somewhat smaller step between the barrel and the grip section.  Certainly quite comfortable to hold.

The pen is fitted for the photos with a polished steel JoWo broad nib.

Thanks for looking!
