Just thought I would share some pics of the old silverware box that a friend of mine converted to a pen box for me. Sorry about the pictures, I'm still working on my photography skills!

The outside.

The inside, first level. Unfortunately bottles like Noodlers, Iroshizuku, Aurora, etc are too tall. :(
13915

The lid, more suited for smaller diameter pens.
13916

The inside, second level. Sadly, all of these pens need repair of some sort or another.

Overall, I am pretty happy with this pen case! Now I just need more pens to fill it! :)

Very nicely done. And I just gave a box away, but it was filled with silverware!

That is a very nice conversion I like the combination of pens and inks.
it has a good finish.

I'm working on trying to remedy that situation! Slowly but surely!
