Thread: Fountain Pen Porn

I like Bexley pens alot, Richard Binder is an excellent source. Tell him Mitchell Levy sent you.

Did a Redwood burl rollerball and a very nice deep red Amboina burl today. Got about a dozen more in various stages of finish.

Gentlemen,

Those are beautiful fountain pens. My favorite fountain pen, since childhood, has been the Pelikan. I own several, among others. Which makes me appreciate a beautiful fountain pen when I see one, and I have seen several in these pictures. Well done.

Regards,

Obie

Sweet looking pens

I have seen his work in person and it is EXCELLENT!

Excellent attention to detail. Love your selections of wood. Very good work. Makes me want to write with a fountain pen!!

You should see the one I just finished. Black gemstone with gold webbing. Not a beginner material. Took me 3 hours to turn the tubes. Had to stop every 5 min and sharpen my tools. Wet sanded it up through 12000 micro mesh and gave it 3 coats of renascence wax. Man does it look good. I need to snap a photo when the sun comes up.

Black gemstone with gold veins (that is real stone and gold, very hard stuff, and even harder to turn), buckeye burl, a wood that I dont remember the name of??, red and black dyed boxelder burl, red dyed curly maple.

Ran out of uploads.
Ccurly Koa. The two tubes without bodies are curly mesquite on the left and grade 1 Afzelia XY-lay.

Very nice work. I love the materials and the finishes you've chosen for them. I'm a roller ball guy. I'd love to write with a fountain pen, but a childhood injury to my right ring finger makes it hard to write with one. My Dad's a fountain pen man and I know if he saw these pens he'd be very interested in detailed info about the nibs you use.
