Recommended Posts

This thread is a list of pen makers who will take commissions to make pens.

 

Please can you add a post to this thread if you are willing to take commissions from people who want a pen made, and include the information listed below:

  1. General Location (eg USA) - this is useful for people to narrow down their sourcing.
  2. Type of work - Kit, modified kit or totally custom. It is assumed, unless otherwise specified, that you do not make your own nibs or feeds.
  3. Range of writing instruments (Fountain Pen, Roller Ball, Ball Point or Pencil).
  4. Range of materials worked (Eg wood, acrylic, celluloid, bone, gold...)
  5. Gallery address/Home page (if you have one)
  6. For Fountain Pens, can you specify the types of filler you do (eg c/c, piston, vac or button)

 

To commission a pen, please contact the makers by PM through the little envelope icon under their name in their post.

 

Regards,

 

Richard.

I'll put up my information here as well though my work is more customization than pen-making.

 

Location: New Jersey, USA

Type: Urushi Lacquerwork

Range: Fountain Pens mainly and rollers.

Materials: Urushi over Ebonite. Embellishments in Maki-e, Raden, Ishime, Tamenuri, Karanuri etc.

URL: www.hakuminurushi.com

Pens Possible: I currently work with Edison Pens to produce most of my lacquerwork. Their standard models are all possible and custom designs and adjustments are also possible. These are cartridge/converter or bulb fillers. I also do lacquerwork on select vintage pens such as Sheaffer's TM Touchdowns and Snorkels, Parker 51s, Parker Jackknife Safeties, Waterman's Eyedroppers and others.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
