Here I was trying something new for a photo. I didn't quite get centered on the backdrop, but I think it looks nice.

Is that sparkling finish the result of polish? If so what's the process?

 

It is. I use EEE paste wax applied on each grit of sandpaper starting at 400grit and go up to 1000. Then off to the buffer using Tripoli and White diamond. Clean with a soft cloth and it's nice and shiny!

An absolutely beautiful pen! As the old design saying goes, less is more. More wouldn't have made it, you hit it just right.

Took delivery of this beautiful pen today. All I can say is wow! Fits in my hand like no other pen I own. Writes beautifully. Somehow looks even better in person. Jonathon is an incredible artist and craftsman. Thanks again. Arthur

The pen is absolutely amazing. The high polish finish gives it an extremely elegant appearance. Very well done!

 

Do you have a website or blog where we can see your previous work?

 

All the best,

Grayling

      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
