Fresh From The Lathe Today

Recommended Posts

A rather nice 'Cumberland' material came knocking at the door and asked to be made into a fountain pen... and so I obliged 😉

 

This is a standard cartridge, converter filler with a Jowo nib and turned brass accents. The clip is a hand cast 'Spoon', by Mike Redburn.

 

The wide central banding was inspired from vintage pens, often found in the same sort of Cumberland Ebonite material. I really enjoyed making this pen but it is a devil to photograph and capture the true beauty of the material.... for that reason I have adjusted the photos, a little. 👍🏻 Enjoy!

The material is a great choice and your workmanship is inspiring.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

This is outstanding,

 

May i ask how did you get the brass inserts into the pen. Have you made a more detailed post of how you came to make this beautiful piece?

That is a very nice pen you have made there. On your problem of photography, have you thought of filming a quick video and then converting it to a gif? I know Imgur will allow you to host animated gifs.

      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
