It's been ages since I've posted on here. Life is interesting. I am now an "empty-nester" and finding some time to be creative.
Idea 1 - I have wanted to do a type of desk set pen like the vintage Sheaffer fountain pen white dot sets. This is all a work in progress. I'm working on a round base - but for now I have used a piece of Koa and I have room on the front for an engraved gold plate to be attached. might get an engraving on the top of the base as well. I am happy with the fluted part of the cap - although it needs to be shortened a bit. And I like the gold rim on the rollerball cap - a new addition for me which I will be doing often.
Idea 2 - Use the desk set idea in combination with cigar boxes. This one is not the greatest match - but I can keep note paper or cards inside the cigar box. The body screws into the cap of this one, so the lid can be opened without dislodging the pen.
The third pen is made of spalted myrtle from an Oregon trip. Enjoy. Feeback always welcome.
