Looks like Karin is in for a treat. That colour variation is gorgeous.

That is a nice bright piece of acrylic. Is the section from a Schaffer? It's hard to tell with the glare on the nib.

That will make a nice pen.

All Done

That's absolutely gorgeous! I love the coloration.

[Karin]

Wow!!!! This is the future owner of Karin's pen.

 

I've been fortunate in seeing some of Chris's other handiwork close up and personal. He is a master craftsman, and a heck of a nice fellow too.

 

The nib is from one of my Sheaffer Balance II's.

 

 

Thanks so much for giving me a sneak peak.

That's Nice Looking! really cool blank. Did you mix the acrylic yourself?

No not at the mixing stage as of yet. Got it from one of the craft supply stores in the states. I could dig up paperwork if you need.

Good to see you still reading the boards , if not posting nearly as much as you used to

Agreed! Chris is very talented and a very generous person, too. I am the proud owner of a red-barrelled-black-capped Hughes pen myself

 

The nib is from one of my Sheaffer Balance II's.

Great choice for a nib-section unit! I think the nibs are very nice and I like the shape of the sections, too.

 

 

Wonderful work, Chris! :clap1:

Enjoy your new pen, Karin!

Chris, just gave my wife a peek at your handiwork. She complimented you on the beautiful pen and the fact it was a gift to your wife Karen.

 

Hey, let's not start something on here where I'm explaining myself more often, ok? :-)

 

My best,

 

Paul

Chris isn't married to Karin, but I think both Karin and Chris would find the idea highly amusing....

 

It *is* a beautiful pen, though.... I wish my husband would pick out and buy me a fountain pen, instead of just letting me buy my own

I ordered a vintage Sheaffer section from the USA and once I will get it I plan to give the section to Chris to build me a Green Ebonite ED pen.This will be my first pen turner pen and from seeing phisicly his work I am sure this will be a stunner.

 

Chris expect a call from me any day.

Hi Maja,

I'm still around, lurking mostly, but also glad to read your posts.

I'll be picking up "Karin's pen" on Nov 22nd at our pen club meeting.

 

"Chris isn't married to Karin, but I think both Karin and Chris would find the idea highly amusing.... "

 

I do. :roflmho: :clap1: :ltcapd:

Not sure if Chris would though. I've met his significant other and she is a charming, beautiful woman.

 

Not that I'm not charming and beautiful, but ........ :roflmho: Let's just say to all my new friends on FPN, that I'm a lot older than Chris

[PaulK]

In the words of the ever-eloquent Homer Simpson: "DOOH!!!!" Please -- my apologies for my mistake.

 

Great lookin' pen! Karin, look forward to reading a pen review in the coming weeks(?).

 

Regards,

 

Paul
