What kit do I need

[Mariner1]

Well UPS just delivered my 2 pieces of teak decking from the battleship USS California. Now I want to make a pen that would be similar to those used during the 40's. From what I read fountain pens seem to be the pens of the era. What kit would look close to something from that time frame. This will also be my first fountain pen attempt, as soon as I get my shop reorginized and running again.

Thanks for any suggestions.

You might want to look at the Churchill. Here's one place to see it

I agree, or the El Grande at the same site.

Thanks for the suggestions I will be ordering both styles as soon as I get my shop back in order. One piece of the wood should yield around 15 to 20 pen size blanks, so I think I will turn some pocket watches to go with the pens. Hopefully I will be able to post some pictures when I get them done.

Thanks again

I bet some Navy folks would like pens from that.

Questions on the wood you got, How are the two pieces you were sent?
In the photos there were mounting holes, did one or both pieces have them?
thanks
