Bespoke Wooden Fountain pen

[bg15]

Hello everybody...

I am so invested in my IG account that I haven't shown my pens here for a long time.
Here is one made of Cherry and Wenge wood with lovely miniature hand carvings.
Any thoughts?

Great pen. Hand carved or CNC?

Nice balance. Great photos as well. Congrats

That's an extra and fine dimension to pen making, Goran, resulting in a very desirable looking pen.
Well done.

I really enjoyed viewing this! The carving is superb and the overall pen looks well balanced and drafted.

Just a thought, have you any interest to try a dyed/inked effect in the inner depth of the relief? Maybe just before final sanding, before finish - dye the relief, then finish sanding to reveal/clean up the high elements.

Well done; one to be proud of. Thanks for sharing.

All hand carved, using miniature chisels, not power tool.

Thank You Mark

Dying the inner depth never came to my mind. That's an interesting idea. It wouldn't even be so tricky to execute as I sand the pen before carving. The carving itself is not sanded because my tools are high quality and very sharp.

In that case I admire and applaud your skills.

Outstanding pen. As for carving, you have more patience than me plus great manual dexterity.

Thanks! Yeah, we all have something, right?

Very nice. I don't see well enough to do carving, but it's great to look at.
