This year, I was the very fortunate winner of the John U feather blanks. To say I was excited would be an understatement. Have you ever seen anyone wait for then attack the letter carrier at the mailbox?
The first pen is a Ringneck Pheasant mounted on a Jr. Emperor rollerball. I really like the way the blank and the components blend together.
The second pen is an Amherst Pheasant mounted on a Jr. Emperor fountain pen. Little did I know at the time, but a "certain someone" was in the process of designing her own pen when she decided which kit to use and has already found a new home. Well, at least I got to keep one and turn both!
John also included finials for both pens but I could not find a way to dismantle the existing finials without damaging the kit. I have other plans for them now.
Thank you John U, your artistic ability makes a lot of us look good, especially me.
Cheers
Bob
