    Default A second Redwood Burl fountain pen

    http://www.pensbylyleross.com/richla...lace-burl.html

    I had a request for a redwood burl Richland after posting my last one. This is the result. It is much the same, but the nib is a small #5 JoWo. This one also posts very comfortably per customer request:

    C/C welcome as always. Thanks for looking

    That is pretty. I like the look of the redwood.
    Expect the glass to break---------------And accept it.

    You’ll have peace of mind. And that, my friends, is a welcome surprise.

    I love the overall look of the pen.

    Why did you choose the #5 nib?

    I know it was a customer request but that nib looks way too small for the pen.

    Thanks everybody!

    The small nib was per customer request - just prefers writing with the smaller nib. Having held it and used it a bit for smoothing and adjusting the nib, it actually feels and looks good to me. Granted, I'd also go for the larger nib myself, but I ended up liking the small one as well.

    Wow.. gorgeous pen.

    I am with the majority for a larger nib. Would have made the pen look more balanced.
