Back From Portland

Hi Everybody!  I’m back from the Pacific Northwest Pen Show!  It was awesome and I had a great time.  Glad to be back home in my own (comfortable) bed.

I’m working on a write-up with @allthehobbies and you should see that in a week or two.

I’ve updated my inventory (with the new Matthew Chen nib grinds) and you can see all that here – Inventory.

Also, I did a thing.  Let me know if this is the worst content you’ve ever seen.  I’ve got some ideas that I think will be fun, some pen builds, some work in the shop, stuff like that, and hopefully it’ll bring a little attention to our little pen community (not this video, this is just… I don’t know).  We’ll see.  I may just end up embarrassing myself.  X)

Oversize Orville Doublet

Oversize Orvilles. Calling this color scheme doublet (it’s a kind of waistcoat or vest). Kind of silly, but whatever. 🙂

These will be available in the store as soon as I get photos taken and uploaded, prices will range from $195 to $245 I think.

If you see something you love, send me an email and I won’t even put it on the store. Sections will match the rest of the body.

[email protected]

These and everything else I have in stock will be going with me to the @pnwpenshow show in a few days.
OMG it’s coming up so fast!
