Today's Shirt Pocket Fountain Pen - Another Inlay


I totally forgot that I had this lovely material!  I had a request for a green and black pen, so went looking through my supplies, and came across this material that I had obtained quite some time back, but had never tried turning and finishing.


So, I gave it a go on this 'Shirt Pocket Fountain Pen', done in the same style as a few of my recent ones, with the black finial and the barrel-end inlay to tie the pen together visually.  And what do you know - this resin is great!   It has a very cool pearly look to it, and the veins of black in it make it look a lot like marble.



I have fitted this pen with a JoWo B nib for the pics, but the buyer will have a choice of nibs, which I will test, adjust and smooth (as always) prior to shipping.

Thanks for looking!

Ken
