I got the blank in for this in late September. In early October my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. (She is slowly recovering from surgery and doing well at this time.) She saw the blank and wanted a pen made from it. This pen is made to her specifications. Pretty straight cap with a bit of a conical dome, slightly tapering body with a slightly dished end. As you can see, she is using it with pink ink (gotta love the selection of inks at Goulet Pens.)
