#4 got it! Congrats to whoever is #4!! Yeeha! You get a pen and a kid gets some help going to college! Thanks!!
That’s right – I haven’t even made it yet. 🙂 The section is black phenolic resin, and the rest of the pen is up to you. I was thinking of a nice straight seamless, like this one, but it will be up to the winner of course. 🙂 If black isn’t your thing, pick whatever material you like.
The nib choice is totally up to the winner as well. You can choose steel, any tip size, any grind, or 14k or 18k gold, any tip size, any grind. The winner will have the option of taking the gold nib with the cost coming out of the winnings, paying for the gold nib, or taking a steel nib. The response to the last was so huge that I think this is how I’ll run it each time.
If you have any questions at all please contact me at [email protected], or ask here in the comments section. Please be sure to send payment to the correct paypal address or it may get lost.

Is Phenolic Resin same as Micarta? Does it come in other colors? Are other materials compatible to use with this to make a complete pen?
Phenolic resin is same as used in the TWSBI micarta pen. I can get it in black and the reddish brown show in the photo above. As for being compatible with other materials – I suppose it could go with anything you wanted. The winner of the raffle can have a pen made from any material – not just the phenolic resin above. 🙂
