My Lacquered Lamy Al-Star Fountain Pen

[grandmia]

Bonjour

I love the Japanese lacquered pens and hopefully one day i may own one, but unfortunately due to the costs it may never be possible. So i experimented with a modern Lamy fountain pen to give it a antique distressed look. I would like to share it with you all.

Hi...Glad you like it, it is definitely different. Now for the next one, maybe a Radan style ?

With the same quality, it would for sure be rather nice a safari raden !

The real luxury is to have a maki-e wooden pencil ...

Unfortunately i have three Lamy Al Stars which i will be working on (good to practice on). I would really prefer tp work on a Ebonite cigar shaped blank, if any one has a spare available it would be appreciated.

Yes i totally agree. I am looking for a blank pen preferably in a clipless cigar shape in Ebonite or wood would be interesting. Any offers would be appreciated.
