Pendleton Brown Gives My L2K The "voodoo Treatment!"


Behike54

Recommended Posts

Photos from sending my L2K to Pendleton. When I sent him his questionnaire about what I wanted done, I wrote, "I'm right-handed, use light to medium pressure, and to just do 'the voodoo that you do!"


I told him his name reminded me of the "Bookman" episode on Seinfeld. "Dude, you're like the guy Kramer talked about; "you're the ice cream guy named Cone!" Great guy and the work speaks for itself, no?


Great guy, excellent communication, and I would send him a pen again in a heartbeat and without reservation!


Thanks again, Mr. Cone! :D

Yes indeed! I do love my voodoo-ed Lamy 2k as well...never leaves my rotation

Glad to see you did a before and after (or did Pendleton do that?). The results are dramatic, and you can't ask for a better guy to deal with than PB.

If there's anything I want as much as a BLS oblique, it's Mr. Brown's handwriting and flourishes.

10 years on PFN! I feel old, but not as old as my pens.

The man has a knack with nibs, that's for sure. I'm a happy customer.

Someday!

 

And since postal services cost so much this days I'll have to send him a 2000 in every width possible: a fine, medium and broad should do it.

 

Someday...

I absolutely adore Pendleton's work. He is an absolute pleasure to work with.

That looks darn good! What size nib did you start with?

"I have nixed all Noodler's inks in large part because of their feel, but also their behavior, etc. When I put Iroshizuku or Sailor ink into my pens, it's like the ink, pen, and paper are having a 3-some with smooth 'n sultry 70's jazz playing in the background." ~ Betweenthelines

That's great to hear. I had asked Pendleton Brown to smooth the nib on my then-scratchy Lamy 2000 in late 2013. He told me at that time he was no longer working on them. Glad to hear he's changed his mind.

      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
