Olive fountain pen
Here's an olive fountain pen.
I'm really pleased with myself on this one, but I think it's mostly the blank doing the work.
It lines up in a number of sections around the pen, so is really a pleasure to hold and look at when the cap is screwed back in place correctly.
Finished with 21 coats of thin CA and polished with micro-mesh.
Comments very welcome.
Simon.

Nice job Simon. YES, it does pay to mark the inside of the brass tubes to help with final alignment. Saying that, half the time I forget to do it myself, then I have to fiddle about trying to work out which way to get a perfect grain match ha ha
I never forget anything I remember !!

I agree. One of the best smelling timbers I've done.
