Blue and bronze kitless fountain pen

[PenHog]

This was a Christmas gift to my wife. It's a flush, flat-top pen. There are a couple things I'd do differently next time, but I'm fairly pleased with how it turned out. Materials:

Omas L'Aqua Di Bologna from Vince at The Turners Workshop.

Vintage bronze crushed velvet from Keith "mburls".

Clip from Turners Warehouse.

Bock #6 (F) and converter from Beaufort Ink.

Thanks, Len and Roy!

Len, she seems really happy with it. She ordered some Robert Oster inks to use with it, those should arrive next week. I've swapped out the Bock nib with a modern flex nib, because that seems like more fun.
