Very nice and extremely stylish. Has anyone noticed it is practically impossible to get Waterman pens repaired here in the US? I dropped my one and it landed nib first and now it has been playing up for months.
Simon, here's a site for the Fountain Pen Hospital. I have a Pelikan that is in need of serious triage so I may send it to these folks.

Very nice..... using a fountain has become a lost art form. I hate writing with ballpoints and always have a Lamy close at hand.
Thought about getting into pen making, but my wife would probably kill me if I adopted another expensive hobby! Gorgeous work on those intruments btw!
Thanks for the nice comments fellows. Here's a few others I've made.
The fist one is Black Walnut, and the other is Curly Maple.
The wood on this one, the guy called West Coast Briar. I can;t find anything on it.
These are both Birdseye Maple also.
These are Zibra Wood, it's really hard wood.
Curly Maple, Olive wood without the center band. My first Acrylic Skull pen. Black Walnut Bolt Action Tec pen, and Olive wood on a Bolt Action Deerhunter.

Nice work! I'm a woodworker, and especially for keepsake or journal boxes, I like to combine black walnut with birdseye maple. :clap:

My dad had a pipe lighter exactly like the one in the first pic. I think I may have it around here somewhere, I need to look for it.
Tim,that may be Manzanita. It is a close relative of briar. During WW2 Grabow made a few pipes that were stamped "West Coast Briar". I have two of them and the wood looks like the Manzanita use by KBB during WW2 in their Monterrey "Mission Briar" pipes.
I gotta get some of that Zebra wood.
