Red Keyaki Pen

[Curt Fuller]

Red Keyaki fountain pen (thanks again to Stu and John Hart). It's a kit from woodcraft that I've never used before. Makes a pretty pen. But then I screwed up the one I tried to make from Blue Keyaki. It was the same pen only the rollerball version. Somehow I got one of the tubes mixed up with some from a Craftsupplies kit. The CS kit uses a tube that is just slightly larger (3/8 vs 10mm). Not knowing what I'd done I kinked the tube on the Blue Keyaki while trying to press the coupler on. I'm in the process of trying to figure out a save.

Nice job on the RK pen, Curt. Looks great.

Good luck on saving the BK.

Yea, that's a nice looking kit Curt, and you certainly did a good job on it.

Very nice looking Curt. I wonder if you can just drill out the tube...kinda like reaming....then insert the right tube inside?

[Corey Hallagan]

Nice job Curt, that is a beautiful pen. I have to turn that wood yet!

Nice work, Curt!

Looks nice, I sure hope I can get onto some pens soon.

Too bad about the BK, hope you can fix it.

I do have a bunch more sitting around....:rolleyes:

Cheers!

Nice looking pen Curt. Nice job. I am wondering if like John said you could drill out the old tube? I did that on a 8 mm pen. I drilled a 7 mm hole. I redrilled to 8 mm and was fine.
