Yesterday was my last day at work for a few weeks. One of my colleagues, who knows of my love of fountain pens, said she knew someone who makes pens from native Australian woods. She asked him if he made fountain pens and he said he had done in the past but there wasn't the call for them. She commissioned this pen as an Xmas gift for me, made from jarrah wood, the local native hard wood from my region of Western Australia:

What a nice gift and what a nice colleague.

And I am sure you must be a nice person to earn such a special gift.

 

Enjoy it

Congrats! As d.ick said, people who are kind are often rewarded, not always immediately, but are with a special token of appreciation..

In your case, it's a nice wooden pen!

      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

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
