This is something new, and if you ever try it, you will LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I made one of these for myself about a month ago…I designed it to be compact, and a bit “hefty” in size, yet super lightweight. For mine, I settled on a piece of mahogany that I had in my shop for a few years…mahogany is a beautiful wood, and super lightweight. I do a lot of medieval-style calligraphy, so I made a straight holder (because most all medieval calligraphy is broad-edge work). Well, I love this little pen so much that I decided I’d make another one for someone else to try, and here it is! These little pens are so responsive…they handle like little Ferraris, and the super light weight is an absolute joy “in the hand”. This little guy is nice and small too, so you can pull the nib out, and stuff him into your jeans pocket, or purse. Very convenient for travel! LOL! And as with all of my handmade pens, I have many coats of super hardshell clearcoat on them. My finishes are polished like glass, and are so tough that inks and paints will not adhere to the finish. It will never become sticky or gummy; a very durable finish!
This is not a fancy pen (although it is extremely well-made and designed)…but it is a super useful pen, and is so enjoyable and convenient to use; don’t be surprised if it becomes your “go-to” pen. It just feels “right”…like an extension of your hand. Give it a try, and you’ll see why I love mine so much!
And…it’s a pretty good price for a handmade pen, too! 😛
