It may not be "Art" but it is definitely nice to look at.:D

Here we have one of the largest pens available, a Churchill in Tru-Stone Black w/Gold Matrix. Sanded to 12000 grit Micro Mesh with a BriWax final coat.

Purchased by a banker friend.

That is a beauty James. I can see why those would sell fast.

I'd call that a "handsome" pen. Very stately looking. I love tru-sone. Nice job.

Trustone is one of my favorites to turn for a pen, and you certainly did it right by putting it on a fountain pen. The gold on your pen really comes through in the black. Looks like you've inspired me to order some more trustone!

Very nice job James! Do those come with variable nibs? Im looking for a good yet moderatley priced fountain set with a broad, or even better - an oval nib. (definitely not a 100$ nib)

JD, that is the finest looking pen I have seen!! Real class! I love the wood pens, particularly the burls, but this one is first rate - just very nice!

James, that's a really nice pen - I like the fat ones! Nicely presented and photographed, too.

Good job on the color matching and finish.

Tru-Stone is really nice stuff for pens.

Thanks everyone for the very positive comments.

I am more into the turning of pen "covers" :Dthen the technicalities of pen mechanisms themselves.:o I am not sure if a variable nib is available but small medium and broad nibs are available for this pen. Hope that helps.

I prefer the wood pens myself but I try to match the customers request but with some guidance. He originally wanted black with a "white":( matrix but I talked him out of that.;)
