Here's a sample.
The "Nuclear Nitrogen" isn't dramatically different from the regular OS Nitrogen ink. The main difference I see is that the purple sheen appears more even when you're looking at it head-on.
FWIW, it writes really nice with a glass dip pen! The fact that it's sticky seems to help!

Coming up soon. I just need to drive out to the warehouse & lay out the tarps before I open it.

Tonight I sanded the block to a smooth finish and applied the first of around 8 coats of tung oil cut with citrus solvent. Lots of woodworkers hate handing. They don't like oil b/c it's slow.
I love both, and the result is amazing every time.
Anyway, I'll post more pics when its done.

The wood is padouk (yes, I know it'll turn brown over time, that's ok). The little metal disks are magnets. I put magnets on the bottom of my ink bottles, too, and voila! The jars are held in place. They make a really satisfying "clack" when you set them in, too.
The 3rd spot works for a lid, too.
