Ivory Celluloid And Black Acrylic

[drgoretex]

Hello folks,

I just finished this pen a short while ago. Not a custom order, but made this one for fun...

I love turning celluloid. It is so wonderfully workable on the lathe, and the smell of the camphor is just too cool. Especially when you have a cold, like I do - clears the sinuses very nicely

I decided to frame the celluloid with black ends rather than make the whole thing out of the same material - to my mind, it puts more focus on the celluloid that way. But that's me, and some might disagree. The nib on this pen is a 1.1mm stub nib.

Sweet! I love the black framing and the choice of silver furniture.

Love the elegance of that. Immediately thought Top Hat, White Tie and Tails. Any pen that brings Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers to mind has to be excellent, right?
