Copper Ore And Ebonite Balladeer


Scriptorium Pens

Recommended Posts

Here's one of the prettiest Lava Lamp blanks of them all, Copper Ore, paired with a Black German Ebonite section on a Large Balladeer. It makes for a very elegant pen with its rich swirls of deep copper and silver, and has been a popular combination. This one is fitted with a JoWo #6 nib and fills by cartridge, converter, or eyedropper.

Sweet ... rich curvy lines, and a great blank to go with them.

 

Isn't it interesting how some materials work perfectly for body and section, while others call out for a section of "plain old black"? (Or maybe they'd work either way and since I only make one section for a pen I never get to compare the two side by side!)

Nice! Pictures can never capture the changing shimmer of some blanks, and I'll bet this one really pops in person!

Sometimes contrast, even such a little bit as on a section, can really draw more attention to the other colors. Another nice thing about an ebonite grip is the nice feel that material has.

Thanks! You are so right about capturing the shimmer. It's especially hard on darker blanks.

      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
