Haskoson: 2Nd Fountain Pen - A Fat Ebonite Cigar

[haskoson]

This is my second fountain pen.
I wanted to do a fat cigar pen in Cumberland ebonite.
It worked out fine, but i forgot to polish the tenons before thread cutting...
I tried to polish these parts after i cut the threads but that did not work very well.
Working for the first time with ebonite, i could not polish it very well.
I sanded it from grid 100 to 1000 and Micromesh up to grid 12000 but i´ve not been able to get it scratch free. Still waiting for a buffing wheel.

The pen has a #5 medium Bock nib, a M9x0,75 thread from section to barrel and M12x0,75 thread from barrel to cap.

Comments and critics are welcome.

I found it difficult to polish ebonite - patience is needed I think.

a little beside the point - but it sure looks like a nice table you've put the pen on!

Nice ...

Nice pen. And the long section makes the threading less invasive, when one is writing.

 

Congratulations.

Ha! I was about to say the same thing about the table.

Congratulations.

 

I agree with fountainpagan, I do like the fact that the threads are less invasive.

That nice looking table is really one of my cutting boards.

I make these sometimes if i don´t do pens.

 

best regards

That is one lovely cutting board!

Very interesting long section. Something I would surely like to try.
