Well, for all of you “Exotic Wood Lovers” like me, here is a pen with a SPLENDID specimen of maple burl wood, attached to a custom-shaped ornate wooden handle (which I made from Tamboti wood). And you can see that I inlaid a couple of white and red stripes to “separate” the two woods, and to add visual interest. I love love love nice, exotic burl woods, and this maple burl just adds so much appeal to this pen. The pen itself is, of course, a straight pen holder. Just a super cool little pen holder, and I’ll bet you’ve never seen one like this. Of course not, because it’s a Unique Oblique one-off handmade pen. Something like this will give you a good feeling when you hold it…both in it’s awesome looks, and also in the way it will perform for you.
Again, this is a straight pen holder, and straight pen holders are great because of their versatility. They can handle broad-edged calligraphy nibs as well as pointed nibs. I do a lot of broad edged calligraphy, so I use straight holders virtually every day. I have also started using straight holders for many of my pointed-pen needs as well! I still love my oblique pens, but the straight holders (when fitted with a pointed nib) have a different “feel” to them, and I like it! Every calligrapher should have good straight pen holder in their arsenal!
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.
