Tomoe River Paper Group Buy

[Mags]

Now next step is apparently to get said paper I ordered cut in half and stitched in to a leather journal by David. I love the look of the journal pictured.

 

Happy Easter everyone,

Hey everyone! Any update on this thread? Have a great day!

I totally forgot how much I order (500 or 1000?) I have a friend in the US who has promised me to bind me a leather journal (YAY!!!) if I share my paper with him.

 

Oh well, since we'll be doing this again.. I am in for the second round too.

Some eye candy .... just to up the excitement level!

(this is the Tomoe River white paper stitched into a leather bound journal by David!; I call it the Armstrong Journal. It is amazing how this paper can take so much ink without bleeding through on the other side, especially considering how thin the paper is. You can write on both sides of the paper without any issues.

 

 

 

no bleed through or issues with readability when used on both sides

 

Whats that Blue/Purple ink!? looks lovely!

Heh heh. It's the hurry-up-and-wait game now.

 

I actually had to put the order in twice, as some wires seemed to get crossed the first time and it didn't go through. I ended up using the shipping company's buying service, as the Rakuten site is a bit of a disaster. The second time worked well, though, and this time they even took my money!

I have you down for 500 sheets. Keep in mind that the pages get folded in half, or even quarters. So a six inch-sized journal gets four leaves (8 pages) for each sheet of the raw paper. So 100 sheets of paper ends up being a thick 800 page book. A larger size, say 7 or 8 inches tall gets 4 pages per sheet, which is still quite a bit. So 500 sheets of paper is potentially enough for 2000-4000 pages of journal! And the nice thing about this paper is that you can make the books quite thick without being awkward to use.

Montblanc Royal Blue. It is a very nice ink, but it looks especially lovely coming out of a wet vintage flex nibs (this one is a canadian parker vac that I got from David)

sorry for the late reply!

[Mkim]

Thanks!

 

Yes indeed! The ink really jumps off the page with that pen - great combo!

I know this is an old thread but I am just wondering if there is another group buy planned for the near future?

 

I'm rather upset that i missed it the first time around.

[WirsPlm]

You can buy the paper from http://www.paperforfountainpens.com/, bound in a book or pads.

[Mags]

Wonderpens in Toronto now sells the paper in small quanities on line also. It may help if you were curious only Basilios and waiting for the next larger group buy in the future.

[saskia_madding]

I am all in for the next group buy. I'm loving the paper I got!

[tenurepro]

have you used yours up ?

i am still working on the first 200 sheets i got from FPN... the group buy 500 are still in their package.

[bluejay]

I'm all in for another group buy I'm running out of the 1000 sheets I got from the first group buy.

[smk]

If a group buy ends up happening, I will not be averse to another 500 sheets. This paper is just excellent for pointed pen practice.

I'd be in for a group buy as well. From other thread I've read it sounds like the order needs to be pretty darn epic to amortize the cost of shipping and logistics.

[curiouslizard]

Would love a ream on the next group buy.

[AndyLa]

I'd potentially be interested in a group buy as well

[daintydimsum]

I would be interested as well.
