Freezing Water Or Stained Glass?


Scriptorium Pens

Recommended Posts

Fresh off the lathe today is a Large Balladeer in Freezing Water acrylic from Bear Tooth Woods. The material is a deep purple translucent base with deep blue & white swirls embedded. The pictures I took with my usual setup turned out to be almost all blue, so I took another set on the lathe, where the lights show the true purple much better. It really almost looks like stained glass when viewed against the light. Sporting a JoWo #6 nib and a Cartridge/Converter/Eyedropper filling system, this pen is headed to my current inventory, so it's available!

Smoke in the water or purple haze. If you ever come across material that looks like this let me know and I will have you make me a pen.

Call it Ice-Nine. It reminds me of all the crazy phase changes of that semi-mythical substance.

      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
