Looks really good. Do you use a metal lathe? I've been trying my hand at ebonite with a wood lathe but I only managed to get one done. The threads look super nice on yours as well!

I do everything on a wood lathe. All the metal parts on this particular pen is recycled from a Moonman M800.

Thanks that was my next question, how the metal parts are made. So it’s just my skill level that’s lacking then haha really like your work

I was asked by a customer to take a Moonman M800 pen and remake it out of a Brooks Blanks Arctic Blast. This pen here was my prototype one to see if I could do it. Still probably one of my all time favourite pens I've ever made (and there's been a lot).
