That is a very nice "working" piece of art. I have not attempted dip pens yet, but after seeing so many recently, I'll have to give it a go.
 
Going back some years, a very difficult thing I had to do was to "distress" a set of furniture I had made for a customer. It was really tough to spend all the time care and talent to build very nice furniture, then have to 'beat it up, mar it, spill something on it, and then present it to the customer as the fine furniture it was!. This short story is a lead up to suggest you make the pen look "OLD".:rolleyes: It looks new. The stand is and looks old. Make the pen look old too. Think of the wear that occurs in daily use, etc., Then grit your teeth, AND DO IT!:eek::eek:
 
Most of my dip pens have 'offset holders'....how does the straight line holder work for ya? I've never tried one...

So the timber was 350yrs old, or the tree in came from was 350yrs old?




Regardless...the desk set piece is very awesome and 'works' with the whole set-up!!!

Scott,
The straight line holder seems to work well, but then again I'm not a calligraphy artist.

Steve,
I never thought about the pen looking to new! Believe me that can be fixed!


Thanks!
