Musings

[Scriptorium Pens]

This is one of three pens I've been working on this week in the mesmerizing Amber Water acrylic from Bear Tooth Woods. This is a medium Muse, fitted with a JoWo (Meisternib) #6 nib and a Cartridge/Converter/Eyedropper filling system. My standard Muse style has a step from section to barrel, but I might get rid of the stepped version altogether, since nearly every customer seems to ask for one with no step! This Muse is headed for inventory.

Dimensions:
Length capped: 143mm/5.6”
Length uncapped: 137mm/5.3”
Length posted: 175mm/6.8”
Cap length: 61mm/2.4”
Cap diameter: 16.93mm/.66” at widest
Barrel diameter: 13.75mm/.54” at threads, 15.24mm/.6” at widest
Section diameter: 12.69mm/.49” at widest, 11.51mm/.45” at narrowest

Oh this is lovely. Everyone should have a Scriptorium Muse. I know this because I have one!

 

The colored tip of the cap is so lovely how it catches the light.

Step on the pen helps in correctly sealing the nib and the feed so that the ink won't dry up as fast.

If you don't have the step, have an inner cap. In this case, inner cap would be just extension of the inside of the cap wall (at 90°) blocking the tip of the section. Both the step and the inner cap also help in giving a positive stop to the threads and prevent the user from screwing in the cap too much and eventually screwing the pen!

 

Moreover, step on this pen does not look very prominent. If someone prefers not to have the step, it could be rounded off a bit, and if someone is completely allergic to step, then the inner cap comes into picture.
