From start - an old roof beam of a demolished shed - to finish... The pen is just POLISHED... No stain... No varnish... Just the natural oil of the wood...

I'm curious about the nib. What is the nib material ? Is it a cartridge filler ?

 

The nib is stainless steel made. Originally, Schmidt FH 202 is a cartridge filler system, but I've modified it... The nib section is glued (epoxi) to the barrel. There are enough glue to lock the converter into the barrel.

 

That "tassie" at the end of the barrel, is pressure fitted to the body, but may be hand removed. The converter knob, has a phillips sloted head. To fill the pen, the tassie is removed and the converter is operated with a little phillips screwdriver...

That's awesome. Is it for sale or just for personal use?

By now, just for personal use... I'm perfectioning my lathe technique... It's somewhat difficult to obtain tube wooden pieces with thin walls... I need some special tools to make threads into the wooden tubes, too. When I have the right technique, I'll accept some orders...

Hakase got a work around using wooden barrels for a body but with an ebonite inner liner... I'm not sure if you want to try that method

 

Nothing against mixing materials, but I want to use just one material, i.e., wood.

 

Inner parts, converters, cartridges, etc, measures about 8 mm diameter... An inner liner, made with brass or ebonite, results in a thick body... TODAY, I'm succeed to build a 11 mm outer diameter body. My goal is 10 mm (1 mm body wall)...

well the problem with a threaded wooden barrel is that it might worn down easily so I would suggest you may not want to go into that route... unless there's something special about the wood not wearing down easily through time

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
