Hello everybody!
I'm brand new to the forum, having just recently discovered it. I am not a "seasoned" fountain pen aficionado, but I appreciate the beauty and workmanship, and have some small experience with them. I am a hobbyist woodworker, and was recently commissioned by an acquaintance to make him several pens from a favorite wood of his. The components were low-end commercially available stuff, but when I tried the finished product, I was hooked! Now, I want to learn everything I can about them - and it seems I have found a wonderful place to do so!
Hopefully, I will be able to contribute some small amount at the same time.
Cheers!

Welcome to FPN. I (and I'm sure others here) would love to see a pic or two of some of your pen creations.
I echo the welcome, and would like to see your work!
Welcome to FPN, Allen!!! 
BTW, are you related to Prof Richard Bushman, the eminent Historian who teaches at Columbia Univ in NYC?

Welcome! We're glad you're here.
I echo (echo, e c h o
) what john55 and others said, and would really appreciate it if you'd post some pics of your pens.
Always a great day to view beautiful pens. And, of course respond to the image.

No Wolverine1, I don't believe that we are related, despite the surname. Did he once teach at Harvard too? I am vaguely familiar with a Prof. R. Bushman from there?
As to photots, I've only recently become the owner of a digital camera (Christmas gift!), and it seems that my photography is worse than my woodworking!
Once I figure out how to get a photo up on the forum, I will post the couple photos that I do have.
Thanks again eveybody!
