Castelo & Alumilite kitless

[PatrickR]

Kitless #9
I experimented with shape and size a bit on this one. Fully sleeved and an ebonite section
12mm threads
130mm long
16.4mm Max Dia
13.9mm Min Dia
23g
The finish is minimal. I normally use a very thick CA finish.
Stabilized wood. Sanded to 4000. One very thin coat of ultra thin GluBoost, allowed to dry naturally over night. Then sanded 500-4000 and polished with Yorkshire Grit Fine. I wanted to keep the feel of wood while giving some protection from ink stains. It does have a "wood" feel. Only time will tell about the staining.
Q,C & C welcome.

Great looking pen! The accents definitely set it off.

thanks!
I struggled with what to do that would identify my pens, have meaning to me and be something that I could do my self, also it can be altered to suit the pen. I have done enough of them now that it goes pretty quick.

Thanks!
this wood is fairly plain and needs a little something. Perfect for the style I have developed.
