Compact Style Fountain Pen in 'Emerald Fusion' Alumilite

Hello folks,

Here is another one of the pens that I made this week for the sheer pleasure of using a material that I have been wanting to try out.

This material is another of Jonathon Brooks' cool alumilites.  I have to admit that I can't recall what he called it, but let's call it 'Emerald Fusion'.   Awesome swirls of different hues of rich pearly green that your eyes can get lost in.  Well, not literally - that would be awkward.

The pen is made in my 'Compact' style, which is one of my current favourites.  It is a nice, portable size for carrying, and is made so that the cap can post very securely on the barrel while writing - a great style for small hands and large hands alike.

This pen is fitted with a broad steel JoWo nib, and the fill mechanism is cartridge/converter (but with a bit of silicone grease, it could easily be used as an eyedropper fill).

Thanks for looking!

Compact Style Fountain Pen in 'Ghost Koi' Alumilite

Hello folks,

I have a number of alumilites and acrylics in stock that I just never seem to be able to get to.  So every once in a while, I just decide to pull out some cool looking materials and turn them into pens for the sheer pleasure of it (since this one is not spoken for, it is going up for sale on my sales page).

This material is one of Jonathon Brooks' lovely alumilites, which he called 'Ghost Koi'.  And typical for Jonathon's blanks, it looked kind of boring on the outside - a couple of blocky looking purple patches on a white blank.  But having turned so many of his blanks, I knew better.  Sure enough, as I turned the blank down to size, a very, very cool pearly purple swirl began to emerge (in fact, I'm pretty sure I yelled "cool!" as I was turning this one…).

The pen is another of my 'Compact' style pens, which is one of my current favourites.  It is a nice, portable size for carrying, and is made so that the cap can post very securely on the barrel while writing - a great style for small hands and large hands alike.

This pen is fitted with a broad steel JoWo nib, and the fill mechanism is cartridge/converter (but I have made the grip/barrel threads snug enough that with a bit of silicone grease, it could easily be used as an eyedropper fill).

Thanks for looking!
