Three Amigos. Or maybe it should have been Muskateers, but they're not carrying muskets. :P

 

 

Busy weekend. Three wooden pens.

Eastman in some hard wood ribbon stuff. No clue what it's called but it's pretty.

Aha! And one more I nearly forgot to photograph. :)

 

But first another group shot...

The same ribbon hardwood (do you know what it's called?) and red hard rubber.

Wow! Fantastic work!
I usually don't like the looks of wooden pens (or objects, for that matter), unless they're the darker, black/red kind.
But these are amazing to look at, and I'd bet even better to hold!
Out of curiosity, how would you fill any of them? Aside from the one with a twist-off bottom, of course.

Wow.. I love pens made of wood and these look amazing :vbg:

 

Desert Ironwood gets my vote followed by Sandalwood.

 

Will a deep brown ebonite section suit the pens?

 

Will you make 3 Musketeers (with clip) too?

Thanks!

The two are converter fill, and then the bulb filler of course. :)

Yes I could make them with clips if you wanted.

Here's a Sandalwood pen with brown briar hard rubber.

Awesome work, with the grain lined up and everything! Love 'em!

 

Thanks!

I've gotten a couple of emails asking about these - this one is the only one that's available.

Those are gorgeous Shawn, I am rather partial to wooden pens, probably because they are rather rare and distinctive looking. Will any of them be for sale to us mortals?

Only the one Eastman model I mentioned just above is still available - these were made for an order. I have one other one that's still available, too...

But if you ever want one all you have to do is ask. :)

Shawn:

Is the Eastman desert ironwood pen still available? How much does it cost? I'm interested! I'd be with a med steel nib and no clip.

BTW, can the section be changed to black or brown?

Thanks,

plumon

The Eastman looks like it is made of a wood called marblewood.

I ended up with a grab bag of exotic blanks from woodcraft, and it came with about 1/2 full of what I think is marblewood, and it looks just like this.

That's exactly it! Wow thanks!

 

And the Eastman is - depending on which one you want.

 

This one with the flat top is.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
