Sycamore and Chrome Fountain Pen

SYCAMORE - Acer pseudoplatanu

Sycamore is generally a creamy white colour and stock can sometimes have blue and brown streaks running through the boards, almost like spalted beech. With an oil finish, Sycamore can turn a light tan colour.

Turned  on October 19th 2014 from a piece of Sycamore. I used just a few coats of boiled linseed oil and cyanoacrylate to finish this pen to retain the warmth of colour and touch of the natural wood. It was made whilst we were moored outside Lime Farm Marina on the Oxford canal.

2. This style of pen has a removable cap that is postable onto the end of the pen
3. I love the way my camera doesn't show up the dirt on our boat.
