Another straight pen holder…an “Ultralite”! I’ve used some very light weight woods to make this pen…because I’ve had a few customers contact me about making super lightweight pen holders. Some people absolutely LOVE writing with super light pens (and this is definitely lightweight!). They describe the writing experience with such pens, as akin to “writing with a cloud”. I think it really helps with the “light touch” too! I used two very light (in weight) woods for this pen…the yellow wood is “canary wood”, and the dark brown wood is “tornillo wood”. I like the contrast of the yellow handle with the dark brown “foot”…and you’ll love the way this pen handles!!!
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.
