Hey all, new guy here! I'm George, from Streamwood, IL. About an hour west of Chicago. Started turning pens in May of this year with the inspiration to build my skills and become confident enough to begin making full custom fountain pens. Well, the skill and confidence have caught up but the $$$ hasn't yet, I'm very close to having the funds saved for all the special taps and dies I need to start out. In the meantime, enjoy some photos of the latest custom order I filled for Christmas gifts.
