Hello everyone,
It has been a while since I have posted any of my new pens - partly because I didn't have anything earth-shatteringly different to show, and partly because my photo gear was stashed away in a closet during the Christmas Holiday...
But I thought I would pull out the photo gear and get some pics of this one, as it is quite a bit different from what I usually do. I had a request for a nib holder for glass nibs, and in fact was sent the said nibs for sizing and fit. A darker wood was requested, so away I go with the walnut.

The nib holder is about 7 1/2" long, and about 0.6" at the grip (by request). Since it has no internal components, it is quite light and comfortable in the hand. The glass nibs fit by friction into a sleeve of black acrylic, which is inset into the pen by about 3/4 inch, sealing the nib off completely from the wood itself. On the outside, the wood is sealed with several layers of soaked-in thin CA, sealing it against any potential ink spills.
Well, there we go. Any comments welcome. Unless you're going to say that it really sucks. :cry:
Cheers,
Ken
