Hi folks,
Here is another pen made from one of Jonathon Brooks' cool alumilites. One of the fun things about the alumilite blanks is that you often just can't tell by looking at the blank itself what it is going to look like once it is turned on the lathe. That is actually one of the things I find most fun about these materials - a bit of discovery and surprise as I make each new pen. I can't recall offhand what Jonathon called this one, so I am going with 'Stormy Seas'.
In this case, it turned out lighter than I was expecting, and lighter than the prospective new owner preferred, so as it happens this pen is also posted on my 'For Sale' page.
The pen is a Cigar style pen in my larger sizing (thicker grip diameter and overall diameter). The dimensions are: 150mm capped, 137mm uncapped, diameter max 16mm, grip diameter max 12.7mm (the grip size is comparable to a Pelikan M1000, and just a bit smaller than a Montblanc 149).
It is fitted with a medium polished steel JoWo nib for the photos. The fill system is cartridge/converter as per my usual.
Thanks for looking!
Ken
