This is a PSI Presimo fountain pen, with etched cap. The wood is a piece of bocote that I found in my shop. It ended up having some really nice figure in it. Made a nice looking pen. The finish is Pens Plus.

There was a crack through one of the knots. I didn't know how deep it went, so I flooded it with thin CA a couple of times just in case.

I'm pretty anal about some things, and wanted the nib oriented a certain way. I screwed the nib into the tip coupler and pressed it in with a block. I found a piece of hempwood that had the right size hole already in it to press it in with, but it split. (Have I mentioned how much I hate hempwood recently?) So I found a piece of padauk with a hole in it, which worked. I didn't get the nib exactly how I wanted it positioned, but it's close.
