Made this bamboo style pen last night. Long oversize pen, barrel diameter 14.3 mm, cap diameter 15.4 mm. Material is polyester. The barrel threaded portion is precariously thin, polyester does not allow so much strength and resilience like ebonite / acrylic. Jowo 6 nib and Jinhao converter. Idea of making this pen was to see if non grainy print blank would look good in a bamboo design... Well, you all tell me how the pen has turned up. I made the contour a bit on the flat side, so the knots are not too pronounced in this.Also I prefer to make bamboo pens with long sections, this one is 28 mm. Hope you like the outcome. Welcome comments and criticism.
