A beautiful pen and a great job. A real tour de Force.

 

I am going to have to get a Carene now.

Very nice!

Talk about difficult to photograph. It's taken me about 50 shots at different times of day to get it to show the colour and this is the best I could muster.

I think it should look nice with the gold.

 

I will leave them to harden off before polishing.

 

Not forgetting the, unusual, never seen on a Carene, surprise I have with this rework.

What is the surprise?

Force, you can plan my castle onslaught any time.

 

...no, wait, that would be appropriate to the Dread Carene Roberts. Magnificent work, in any event.

Oh, good heavens. He's got a blog now, too.

How did you "fill" the slot where the clip should be, Force?

Place tape over the outside and dribble twin pack epoxy into the tip. Remove the tape and smooth the surface to match the profile.

If you look at the picture in my post of 02 June that is the old cap from which I 'borrowed' the new clip. That cap was beyond repair so I experimented and produced this clipless. It looks rather bare so I have a few ideas on making or having made for it a gold, slide on, clip but that will not be cheap. Similar to the early rubber pen clips.

You mean something like the clip-on clips that Kaweco does?

 

You might talk to Watch_art... He recently showed some sterling ornamented ring clips on one of his new pens.

The clipless is beautiful in its simplicity. It's stunning.

Yes and looking again what might make it real nice would be to forget the slip on clip, remove the button and fill it to match the top of the cap....all one would have then is the central gold band............oh no I feel another project coming on.

In between 58's and door overhauls I have been trying to get a good sharp picture but even with my D90 it seems way too soft.

You know, looking at the Ivory again, in my opinion you should paint the jewel in ivory as well....

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
