UPDATE: The winners are 185 (180) and 41 (38). Congrats!! 😀 This time I think I’m going to do something a little different.Instead of having just one winner, we’ll have two. 🙂 The cumberland button filler is gone, so that means the bulb filler and celluloid pen have to go. 🙂 Rules are the same […]
Here are two of the latest pens going out. The green one was a custom request and the button filler has been fitted with an XF silver nib and silver clip.
Got a picture of the hair cut from one of my students. I was hoping for more photos – but this is the only one I got. It’s pretty good though. This is mid cut. He had to leave when the bell rang to catch the bus – so it just got all cut clean […]

I do not do my own urushi finishes anymore and have no plans to do so in the future. Thanks. One coat on all the pens tonight. I forgot how much impact this has on the appearance of the pen. One coat has already made such a huge difference! I can’t wait to see them […]
