first fountain pen - Masur birch Jr. Statesman

[Joe Aliperti]

I'm going to keep this one for myself. The wood is a piece of exceptionally-figured Masur birch. The kit is a Jr. Statesman in black titanium. Finished w/ 10 coats of thin CA.

Thanks for looking!

Hubba hubba! That is some seriously gorgeous wood. I aspire to that level of craftsmanship too. Outstanding.

Wow Joe that is a beauty. Really nice wood and finish.

Really a nice one, and I don't blame you on keeping it. Very nice photo setup as well!!

I've never done a Jr. Statesman, but if I could do it as well as this one, I wouldn't hesitate. Well done.

The kit is from Craft Supplies USA. It's a Jr. Statesman II in rhodium/black titanium with postable cap.

Lovely. Both the wood and the turning. I see why you are keeping that one. I'd have have a real hard time keeping it away from the wife!

Great looking pen. Very very nice finish. I haven't done any fountain pens yet. What do you think of writing with it?
