Unique Fountain Pen made from Red/Orange and Black Resin with Gold Plated fittings that makes this a beautiful pen to own. The finished pen is “pillared” meaning that the cap can be screwed on the back of the pen to extend it for anyone who likes to use a longer pen and comes in a black velveteen pouch to protect it (or black velvet pen box with white and blue interior for an extra charge).
Please check all of the pictures as the pen being sold is the one in the picture and ready to post.

How Your Pen Is Constructed

I start by deciding what colours I am going to make the blank and then mixing the resin and adding the pigments to make the colours that I want. It takes two to three hours before the resin is ready to pour.
If there is more than one colour I now mix these colours together to make a unique blank and then leave it to set for a week
The next move is to select the blank that I want
After the blank is selected it is cut to size and then drilled to take the brass tubes that the pen mechanism will be fitted in.
Once the tubes are fitted the blank is then turned on the lathe to the correct size.
The square blank is now turned and shaped.
It is now sanded with very fine sandpaper, the finish is then applied with up to ten coats, being sanded between every one or two coats with 1500 grit to 12000 grit sandpaper

The pen is then assembled and cleaned so that the finished item ready to be dispatched
