    Default Autumn Custom Fountain Pen

    Here is the latest pen to roll out of my workshop.
    I used a couple of blanks of Acrylic Acetate that I have been hanging onto for a couple of years, waiting to make this pen.
    14.5mm diameter, 140mm long, 150mm capped. 14mm double start cap threads, homemade stainless clip. #6 M JoWo steel nib.

    I didn't think it was possible, but your pens just get better and better. This one has to be my favourite - the colour, design, workmanship, thread, clip; all are fantastic (and it's not even timber ). Brad, you've done it again - congratulations!

    Gary, thanks for the glowing feedback. This is probably my favourite so far as well.
    There are a few shortcomings that in the process that I will probably be the only one to know about, so in my eyes it’s definitely not perfect, but I do like it.

    I am planning to gift this pen to someone who is doing some important work for me.
    He has some nice pens on his desk, but I am hoping this one will find a place amongst them.

    There is another who will also receive a such pen, but I am running low on blanks that I consider worthy, they are not easy to come by. For these pens I need two matching blanks.
    ​Brad.
