Brown Mallee

[Valleyboy]

This is made from Brown Mallee and cellulose. I used a lighter tortoiseshell colour for this one to try to blend it with the wood. The brown mallee, (the name for the burr from certain eucalyptus trees, rather than a species in its own right), is stabilised.
The threaded components are glued with a 2-part epoxy. Once cured the blanks are then drilled, bored, threaded and shaped.
This pen has clean lines when closed, meaning the cap is flush to the barrel. It uses a Jowo 6 nib and 13mm triple lead cap threads. The hourglass shaped grip section is around 11.3mm at the waist.
Overall length around 140mm closed, 134mm open.

Cheers,
Ash

Splendid artistry Ash. I really admire your work. The timber, Cabachon, and cellulose are a wonderful match.

I appreciate the sealed end look too. A beautifully executed piece all,round
