Inkwells?

[DurocShark]

All I'm seeing are glass. Can other materials be used? Myself, I'm hoping for PR... How about 2 part epoxy over wood?

I have one made of pewter and others that have metal cup inserts for the ink.

With what you're talking about, I don't know if there would be a reaction with the ink. Best way to know would be to conduct some test on what you make.

Keep us informed.......would be interesting!

Thanks. I guess I'll be doing some tests. I just didn't want to duplicate work already done by others.

Don,

For a wood inkwell, I think that I would use a liner like glass or metal. But that is only based on supposition, not experience.
PR inkwells have been done. Here are a few examples.....:tongue:

I don't know if the ink ended up staining the PR though. You may want to send a quick shout out to Dawn and/or Skippy. They may be able to help you more...

Sure, but if it is glass, I can see how much ink is in it, I can see what color is in it, I can see my pen in it when I fill it. Anything else, I would be in the dark That's probablly why you see all glass.
