Turned on the lathe from rare ebony, this classically styled dip pen (also known as a nib holder) includes a monogrammed solid brass core to give it perfect balance.
Although I usually work in Australian hardwoods, ebony is such an iconic wood for fine woodturning that I couldn't resist the opportunity to create this stunning piece.
A joy to use or just to admire, this pen is suitable for drawing, writing, calligraphy or as a perfect gift for the serious collector.
The pen comes with an original vintage Hinks, Wells & Co. "Astor" stainless steel nib. It has a 6mm bore and 5mm core that allows it to accept most standard-sized nibs.
As every pen is individually handmade, there will be slight variations even amongst pens of the same style. If you would like to order a pen suited to your hand size and tastes, please contact me to arrange a custom order.
Made by Michael.
