A very cool little straight pen holder! I love the ominous dark black color with the mysterious white “mists” swirling around in there! It reminds me of mysterious fog on a dark night…hence the name “The Ominous”. I made this pen from a gorgeous piece of acrylic (the black/swirly-white section), and sleek black Ebony wood (the ornate handle). A unique and attractive combination to be sure!
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.
