My first fountain pen

[Mr Mac]

I have been wanting to give one a try so I finally bought one while I was at Woodcraft last week. I realize it's the same as any other pen kit out there as far as putting it all together but it seems almost regal (the fountain pens themselves), almost like royalty in the pen world.

It is their screw cap fountain pen (#12667) with purple dyed box elder.

Nice pen, Mac. That was a similiar pen I used for my first fountain too. Once you get use to that nib, go get one of Lou's Steel Heritage nibs. (Sold through exoticblanks.com) and see if you notice a difference.

Have fun!

Same exact one I used. Just be careful, the lower end fountain pen kits tend to leak.. Or at least mine did.. Maybe I got a bad one?

Anyway, nice pen..

That is exactly why I have never carried one and I gave this one away! :wink:
