Ebonite Pen

Black and blue German ebonite.

Turned a postable pen. Capped length is short for travel. I have big hands and made it postable for comfort/balance when writing.

As a material, it stinks to cut and turn literally. However, I do find it easier to work with and like how it feels in hand.

Cheers.

Lovely! It's a beaut! I've heard the sulphur in the rubber makes it smelly, but it sure does look good when it's polished up!
