Hi guys and ladies.

This topic concerns making Slimline pens with Mun Ebony.

Have you ever made a Slimline type pen with Mun Ebony?

Did it sell if you tried?

This is the first time i have ever used Mun Ebony, so i wasn't quite sure what the demand for it would be or even what it would turn out to look like.

I noticed right away that it has mainly a tan color with black/grey blotches and streaks through it, which proved interesting to me, but as i got down to proper thickness for a slimline pen (about 8-9 mm), most of the Grey/Black had been removed and only fine streaks of it remained on one piece and not at all on the other. I walk away from this with one thought, and that is never waste Mun Ebony on a slimline type pen, it'll ruin the features.

Any input appreciated

This website is new so it doesn't have much to it yet but you are welcome to take a look

Actually it can make very nice slimline pens but it looks like your blank is more sap wood. But yours will still turn out nice.

Well I have never made a pen with Mun Ebony Charles, but that is a nice looking pen. I can see from looking up the wood that it should be a darker color.

The platinum looks good on that blank.
