    Default A few recent pens

    Hi fellow pen folks. Been a while, so here's a few pics to see what I have been up to lately:

    'Mirkwood' Brooks alumilite Cigar style (going to sale page)



    'Arctic Night' Brooks alumilite Curvy style



    'Dragon Fire' Brooks alumilite Cigar



    'Springtime Forest' Brooks alumilite Simplicity style



    'Ghost Koi' Brooks alumilite Compact style



    Raku Lava Compact style


    Matte Black Ebonite Cigar



    My most recent 'Susutake' style Bamboo pen with thread wrap (don't get to make these in the winter much)



    Loving this hobby...

    Thanks for looking!

    Ken

    The bamboo pen is one of the best of that style I've seen. It's the first of that style I've though I actually wouldn't mind owning.
    My Pinterest Feel free to add me on Facebook as well.

    I like that curvy style - it looks as if it would be very comfortable in the hand, and the material is lovely. Altogether a stunning set of pens. I think you've been having fun making them!

    Amazing work, as always!! I've been thinking about adding another one of your pens to my collection, and I think that black ebonite one might push me over the edge!

    Very inspiring work and wonderful variety of materials.
    Can I come over to Canada for a Master Class in pen making?

    As someone who has only ever owned stock/big box pens your work is fascinating. Especially love the Arctic Blue and Springtime models. Do you maintain a web store or only post in the sales section here?
