I made this pen from Ebony wood and acrylic resin. The gold band is actually a poly-resin that has a metallic look to it. I wanted give full disclosure, that golden band is not metal, it is a “faux metal” resin. 🙂
This is a straight pen holder, so it is a super-versatile pen holder. Straight holders are great for both pointed pen (such as English Roundhand or Copperplate styles) and broad pen calligraphy styles (such as Blackletter, Fraktur, Textura). You can’t do that with an oblique pen holder. 🙂 Every calligrapher needs at least one good straight holder in his/her arsenal, and this is a GREAT straight pen holder. I use stainless steel inserts on my straight pens, so it will never rust out on you.
Unique Oblique Custom Pens are meticulously handmade writing instruments. They are finely crafted, pro-caliber calligraphy pens. This pen will easily and happily handle the rigors of the professional calligrapher. As with all of my handmade calligraphy pens, this one is coated with my super hardshell clear coat (12 coats on this pen). This finish is crystal clear, super hard, will never become sticky or gummy, and is almost impossible to stain. If ink or gouache dries on this finish, you can wipe it off with a damp rag, or for stubborn cases, you can literally scrape it off with your fingernail.
This pen will ship to you in a premium presentation/storage case
