I have recently run into a friend from about 20 years ago (on Facebook). Turns out she lives just down the street from me. At any rate, she has been admiring my latest pens and asked if I could make one for her. After some questions back and forth, she decided on a Rollerball made out of Bocote. I have been playing with segmenting of late and did consider doing something on this, but with a two piece barrel, I didn’t think that a knot or “lazy s” design would look in proportion to the pen as it does in the Longwood pens. Bocote has such a strong grain pattern that I didn’t really want to detract from it. Finished in CA Glue, this pen turned out really well.
