Mid May has me back to turning pens for the first time since last year. I picked a mix of materials and a few new styles. From left to right, the first pen is a Wall Street II Elegant series with Black Titanium and Platinum hardware. The mechanism is a ballpoint twist with detail scroll work on the lower band. The material is acrylic "pitch black" wet sanded to 12000 grit micro mesh. The next pen is a Wall Street II black enamel finish. The mechanism is a click style ballpoint and it is dressed in the same acrylic. The next pen is a European profile fountain pen with gold plated fittings. The cap is screw on and non-postable. The material is Purpleheart, sanded to 600 grit with BLO/CA finish for high resiliency and gloss. The next pen is a European profile ballpoint twist with gold fittings. The material is American Applewood, sanded to 600 grit with BLO/CA finish also. This pen was a gift to a friend who provided me with almost a whole applewood tree he had taken down in his yard. The last pen is a Tycoon rollerball with Platinum plated hardware. The cap is screw on and postable and the pen is dressed in Lacewood. This was an Anniversary gift to my wife for our 13th. The traditional gift is Lace, so I though Lacewood would be appropriate. That's it for now...stay tuned for more...
