UnibodyT M Green Ripple Ebonite from India

After a brief exchange of emails with Mr. Kandan MP from Ranga Pens, I received a package of different coloured ebonite bars.

For this project, my first attempt to work with ebonite, I chose a green color with brown ripples.

I called it UnibodyT M because it visually looks like a single body. There are no steps between the plug and the body. The T is because they do not have width uniformity along their entire length.

 

Ebonite has always been used to create fountain pens and lots of other things. It is a plastic with which one works very well on the lathe.
