Ebonite?

[carlmorrell]

I have been drooling over some of the beautiful pens made out of ebonite. How can I get my greedy paws on some without spending $100 on ebay? I am talking about the material I see Herb Casameerus shows on facebook.

TIA, Carl

Good stuff. Sometimes it takes a while to get the goods, though.

Classic nib has about 6 colors and 4 sizes.

Seriously, Classic Nibs has some GREAT rods very reasonably priced. Other vendors here may also have some, but I know Roy's stuff as I've used it for years. IT'S stunning!

In fairness, here, I need to mention that I've used Exotic's Ebonite, also. Their rods were equally beautiful. And I buy it from either Classic Nibs or Exotic Blanks, whoever has stock in the colors I need, when I need it.

I've not had great results, here. NOT being "whiney", but getting it was sometimes a problem and sometimes the quality was not what I expected.

I have NEVER been disappointed with the IAP vendors that sell Ebonite, Bakelite, or Casein.
