A little late for Halloween, but this thread is back from the dead! (I know, that was pathetic...)

Anyway, here are some that I've done recently:

This first one is another recon-stone.

This one is the first of a new style I've tried. It's a little bigger than the slim ones, but still takes Cross-style refills. The wood is stabilized spalted monkey ear (or Florida ear).

This last one is a segmented pen. From the ends in, the wood is dyed spalted maple, beech veneer, lacewood, beech veneer, and cocobolo. I really like this one!

If you mean the fischer space pen refills, then yes, a lot of the ball point pens I have shown do. Fischer sells their space pen refills with Parker refill adapters. The larger ball point pens I've shown (the larger ones without caps) take Parker style refills.

Thanks for the compliment!

Outstanding! You'll be getting a call when I have my corner office with a view, I'll be needing a few of these for my desk! (if that ever happens, lol)

Hah! I use my pens every day at school and tell myself that I look more distinguished than I really am! I made one fountain pen that I haven't photo'd and one of my friends said: "Do you think you're Abraham Lincoln or something?!" I'll say though, once I wrote much with a fountain pen, all other pens got bumped down a notch. And that was with a fairly cheap fountain pen kit!

I've done some artwork with a fountain pen before, I liked the way I could bleed the pen for just a bit more oomph, it's a very interesting medium to work with. I definitely am right with you on that, no ball point hold a candle.

It's better to have it & not need it, than to need it & not have it.

Thanks for all the compliments! Here's another segmented pen that I just photo'd. This one is a personal favorite! From the ends in it is Mango, Beech veneer, Purpleheart, Beech veneer, and Amboyna burl. The mango looks better "in person" because it has some nice chatoyance (that shimmery reflective property of some woods). Here you go:

Here's one for fellow gun owners:

It's an actual .30-06 shell and bullet, not some fake thing that was made to look like a bullet!

Oh, the wood is cocobolo.
