The first four boxes are here! And I’m so excited! 🙂 (and they’re free with a pen order) The insides of the boxes are not lined, but your pen will be in one of my wife’s cloth wraps, so it will be snug as a bug in a rug. 🙂 The wraps will be […]
I struck a deal with a friend of mine here in town – I’ve got custom boxes! I’m very excited about this. This one is mine – just a rough prototype – but hopefully you’ll get an idea. We’re also going to put a notch in the top of the boxes to use as a […]
August 16th update And #15 gets it! Yaaay!! Congrats!! It’s that time again – and here’s the newest pen for the . It’s made from Golden Brown acrylic, and comes with a #8, 18k gold nib. Full disclosure – I’m going to take the cost of the nib out of the money collected on […]
Finally made a pen to take the #8 nib. It’s big. I should be able to offer this nib in the medium sizes up to the larger size pens. I’ll have to make a medium to be sure it will fit, not sure yet. These nibs are $175. The pen is also a new Jumbo […]

Engraving! This is my first piece, practice, but it was so much fun! Can’t wait to do more. This is from a picture of a bonsai tree I found on the net. I used a couple of different types of burins from my wood engraving toolbox to do this. The process is pretty straight forward […]
#9 got it! Congrats! And thanks to everybody SO MUCH for participating. This scholarship is set to reach more kids than the first. Hopefully every year I’ll be able to continue increasing the number of people helped with this money.
Newton Pens now offers the larger size pens with #8 nibs. They come in 18k gold, two tone fine, medium, or broad, with any grind that you like. They are $200 each.
Sometimes when making your pens I goof up a bit. And by a bit I mean that I have to start ALL THE WAY OVER. 😀 It makes for good practice, even if it’s sometimes quite frustrating. Here are a few examples of my goofs recently. First, a group shot. The yellow one in the […]
