Finally, I'm getting off my butt and turning some pens. Decided to make the dip pens I've been wanting to do for a few months now.

All blanks are my own. Avg pen weight is 14 grams, length 115 mm and width is 12 mm.

Dip pens with caps...very impressive.:biggrin:
Any pics showing the nibs?

Edit...ah, didn't spot the nib holders, so assumed they were capped

Magpens, I got the ferrules from eBay.


The pics are without the nibs. I used these pics on an Etsy page. Since the buyer will be responsible for the nibs, I'm not showing them with it. Should keep down the confusion of what is included in the purchase.

Scott,
To use a dip pen, just dip it in the ink and write away for a few words and reapply ink.

Nice work Mike.

I like the simple style. I use a dip pen to sign the description writeups that accompany my holders. One of these would work very well on my desk. It just needs an inkwell handy, beside it on the stand.

I usually put a nib into the holder when photographing it, so people don't think its a magic wand.:wink:

One more before I head out for a two week class.

This one is a double ended dip pen with differing profiles on each end. And with nibs installed this time.

Since I am sitting in miles of endless traffic for the moment, allow me to post another that was recently completed. It's a deep purple but with hints of blue in it
