Colour Splash Cigar Style Fountain Pen

This was kind of an impromptu project.  I picked up one of these Jonathon Brooks blanks that I had in stock, and decided I wanted to know what it looked liked turned.  So, I went into the shop and started working on a cool Cigar style pen.  I love this!  Each of these blanks is like a bit of discovery - you can't tell at all what it will look like from the outside of the blank, but as the layers come off on the lathe, the final colours start to show.

In any case, this is a very bright and cheerful, 'upbeat' kind of pen, perfect for those who like colour.  Lots of colour.  Garish, wild, out-of-control colour.  For those who don't, it may give you a migraine.

The nib is a broad, two-tone JoWo nib that has been tested and smoothed, and is a true pleasure to write with.   The pen is a cart/converter filler, but the nib unit threading has a bit of silicone grease on it, and the grip section threading made to be tight in order to allow the new owner to use this as an eyedropper filler, if so desired.

Now, to pack it up and ship it off the the one who claimed it!

Thanks for looking,
