Handcrafted fountain pen inspired by the colors of Cotton Candy with dark purple accent threads. The finish is polished to a high gloss, which enhances the deep brilliant colors. The unique design of this model allows for the cap and body grain patterns to align nearly perfectly when closed on one of the three triple start positions.
The pen is based on 14 mm triple lead threads. The thread length has been calibrated to fully close the cap in slightly over two turns. When closed, the cap and body have a straight contour through the middle, tapering towards the finials. The finials are flat with a slight round over of the edges. The cap sits approximately 1 mm proud of the barrel. The barrel is 80 mm in length (88 including the cap threads), 15.5 mm at the widest diameter, tapering to 12.5 mm at the finial. The cap is 65 mm long, 16.5 mm in diameter, tapering to 14 mm. The capped length is 147 mm. The pen, converter and nib weigh approximately .87 ounces/25 grams.
The section is 23 mm long, 13 mm at the widest diameter with an 11 mm pinch. It houses a Jowo #6 nib and can use a standard international ink cartridge, a Schmidt K5 converter or a Schmidt K6 threaded converter.
The interior of the cap is step drilled to three different diameters. This creates a very low volume of air space resulting in more reliable starts on pens that have been sitting for a while. The cap can post very shallow, but it is not designed as a postable cap. Also, it is not designed to be an eye dropper pen, but silicone grease in the section threads will make it work in this manner.
Although the pen is based on a specific design, “The Palmetto,” each item is individually crafted on a wood lathe. There are very slight differences in each pen’s exact measurements since every part is tested and adjusted for a custom fit. However, the pictured pen is the one you will receive.
The pen will ship uninked with a new Jowo #6 nib in the size and color selected from the menu, a Schmidt K5 converter, a color coordinated felt sleeve and a small sample of ink (colors will.). All threads will be lubricated with clear silicone grease.
