Hi,

 

This is one of my last Tsugaru-nuri on a inexpensive X450.

The true beauty of the Tsugaru-nuri is very difficult to capture on a picture, specially the depth of the lacquer and gold sparkling through it...

I had to google that one. I had never seen this kind of lacker before, and indeed it's beautiful. :-)

 

OTOH, you did that on that x450!!?? =:-O Suddenly I feel like an idiot...

 

Lord, grant me the serenity to avoid the pens I don't need,

the dough for those I need and the wisdom to know the difference.

The most beautiful and expensive X450 I've ever seen. Nice work. Have you thought of doing any of the Indian HR eyedroppers?

Thanks for all your comments,

I guess the choice of a X450 is full of symbolism.

I like to take inexpensive objects (writing instruments included) and bring them to a point where they will flash those who normally won´t pay attention into them.

Like a swan, I believe a true artist is not just someone who can add extra value onto something really exotic, but someone who can take something with almost no value and turned it into something very special that everyone can admire.

Not yet. what I´ve done is to replace a Chinese pen with an IPG nib and replace it with a FPR elastic one, then thin down the shoulder of the tines ans polish the whole unit to turned into the closest I´ve ever been to a wet noodle...

 

 

Really nice work--could you tell us more about other pens you've done, etc. Very impressive!

 

So far my work on writing instruments is very limited.

I´ve done a Skywalker maki-e and as WIP, I have a very unique unit made from laser deposition and then finished in black urushi.

I´m also making a couple of pieces with a maki-e finish.

      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
