Wooden Pens

[Praskaton]

Hello!

Here are two new "indestructible" fountain pen made ​​of aluminum or brass in combination with wood. The all interior is made ​​of metal, including the inside of the cap. Of course, except than nib, fountain pens as a whole is totally "free kit".

Very nice. I like the brass section better than the Aluminum one. Which woods did you use?

Very nice work! Makes me wish I had the means to machine metal..

 

I particularly like the combination of brass and light coloured wood (what wood is that?), although the darker pen is very nice as well.

Thank you for your comments.

Wood that I used on the brass fountain pen is ash (from my forest ) soaked in linseed oil and treated with coating of natural rubber (a bit too shiny for my taste). Fountain pen with aluminum are from Wenge wood. Currently looking at ways in which to treat metal, so the time would not have changed color. I am currently discussing the possibility of browning brass ....

Very nice pens. I really like the first one with the knots.

Very nice creations! I especially like the Ash with the knots. I have turned some Ash but have not yet tried the Wenge. Some say they have difficulties turning the Wenge. Both your creations are Beautiful.

 

Thanks for sharing

Do like the little knots in the wood, and the brass section does look nice, though I would guess it would be slippery after a while of writing. The contrast on the other is nice as well.
