My wife just looked at this one and said 'boy Newton, you've come a long way since your first few.'

Normally I am not a Micarta fan...but this is really, really nice! You could change my mind Great work Shawn!

[palatiumfountainpens]

very stylish! not always have to be a glossy finish. The matte finish is very stylish too.

THis one will be getting an urushi finish... or at least my version of an urushi finish.

Shawn,

 

Beautiful pen. What are the capped/uncapped dimensions, please?

 

thx,

This batch of Micarta looks alot like wood.

 

For your Micarta pens, have you considered placing the visible cap threads on the section instead of the barrel? Threads cut into the acrylic, ebonite, etc. section would have a smoother appearance than threads cut into the Micarta barrel.

 

Thanks!

Agreed.

Hello watch_art,

 

This is new to me, I know that Micarta is applied on hunting knives. How about making one of white Micarta.

Thanks.

thx,

 

It's in pieces right now awaiting urushi - so I'll put up dimensions when I'm done - but I think the pen is about 5" open and 5 1/2 - 5 3/4" capped.

that is a REALLY good idea - I think I'll do that from now on. And DANG it would make things look SO much nicer.

Hello watch_art,

 

What will it cost? I have to take a new look into your post to find out about the filling system, the nib a.s.o.

That's a cool pen. Can't wait to see what it looks like with urushi!

 

What is the Micarta like to work with?

A pain.

Gorgeous material and pen. If you put the threads on the section, wouldn't there be a chance that you unscrew the section when you are trying to uncap the pen?

[watch_art]

yes - and that's my only reservation. maybe a tiny o-ring on the section threads would help keep things snug - like on ancora perlas.

know these take more time, but my don't they look handsome.

if I could, and drat I can't, it would be Carhartt's brown, (actually a tan color), with the Carhartt stud mounted in the top.

Could you do that? Can you get a stud that would fit in the top?
