I had a call before Christmas to make stone fountain pens from a lady in town that collects fountain pens. She had seen my work at a local bookstore that sells pens and pictures for me. (a collector, I thought, I have arrived)
When she picked up the first pens, I was able to show her some others that I had made. She ordered 8 more fountain pens and more if I find unusual stone or other material.
The first is a Cottonwood Jr Gent II; the second is Alaska Soapstone I bought in Alaska this summer on a Chrome Vail; the third is African Wonderstone on a Black Ti Vail; the fourth is Italian Green Soapstone on a Black Ti Vail. The last is my first try at a closed end pen. It is lace redwood on a gold Vail.
Thanks to Ernie for the pens and the great service and Chris (craftdiggity) for the Wonderstone and Italian soapstone. Comments and criticism welcome.
