Ancient river redgum
Ancient river red gum in a stretch fountain pen with black Ti plating.
The blank came from Neil at the last get together I was at on the Gold Coast, many thanks Neil it has turned out a beauty. It is off to Canberra to meet up with it rollerball partner made 12 months ago.
Usual sanding and polishing plus filling voids to 12000 MM then 20 coats of WOP
wet polishing with MM then Autosol.
The nib has been upgraded to a medium nib form Heritage, part of the bulk buy, Thanks Russell for all the organising.

Wow! Another beauty, Sam. Grace and elegance. The nib is a wonderful addition and really makes the pen.
When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

Very nice
Can't say I have ever seen red gum that dark before
