My first "high end" pen

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


My first "high end" penSo this is my first “High End” pen. I've been doing a bunch lately and enjoying them. A lot have been from blanks that I poured, or hybrids. I was lucky enough to get a piece of Cocobolo Burl though, so I wanted to get in a few practice pen first. The kit that will end up on the Cocobolo Burl is an Imperal Fountain from Dayacom, so that will get shown once I get the drill bits in for this kit.This is a Redwood Lace Burl that I stabilized. the kit is a Nouveau Sceptre Fountain Pen Kit in Black Titanium & 22KT. Sanded to 600 grit before doing 10 coats of CA. 5 coats were Mercury Flex thin, the other 5 were Mercury Flex medium. After this dried, it got a complete micromesh treatment and then polished with some Maguires #7.Next for practice, will be a Black Ash Burl on a Statesman roller ball, another somewhat medium/high end kit. Maybe a few more Virage fountains too.I can in all honesty say, writing with a $30 kit like this one and a $6-$10 kit like the ones I was making previously is like night and day.Rich
