Re: I made some new dip pens
Very nice pens. These remind me of a small figure carved from Yew I was given by someone who I think also made archery bows. Will the wet wood will warp or bend still? If so, will be interesting to see the outcome, too.
And those look like great holders for someone whose hands crab up whenever writing with skinny handles. Good stuff.
Re: I made some new dip pens
Proper job. Unusual designs too, which is nice. My own nib holder dalliances have been strictly of the straight taper variety. Boring! I envy you finding plum in your firewood; fruitwoods are wonderful to work.
