boysenberry

This is my first fountain pen kit. An Artisan Signature, with a Boysenberry Burgundy "stardust" blank. Tubes painted red, to bring out more of the "burgundy" than "boysenberry," which I felt went better with the gold. Interesting kit, as it required filing a notch in the cap for the clip to fit...

These are a couple of pens that were made as Mother's Day gifts. Blanks were Boysenberry Root from Exotic Blanks' Worthless Wood section and cast by Jeff Powell. I chose to use the Lancer pen kit from Wood Turningz. Both came out pretty well for a first attempt at worthless wood blanks...
