First of all let me start of by clearly stating that I DID NOT make this pen but I DO have it in a distinct place in my personal pen collection. Those IAP members that have been here longer than a couple of years will recognize the "distinct" work from the mind of a unique creator. Those members that were not here prior to his departure, you will know of him through his work and folkore. Much has been said of the man, some spoken as "truth" and much spoken in "twisted" misunderstandings.
The kit is the fairly new Olympia fountain pen that will surely catch on with the members here. Perfect for the black/white veneer weave that he has mastered. It's often been said that he's refused to do tutorials and to that I say, so what? Hard as we may try, certain summits are only to be conquered by a few. The invitation remains open to all and is a fitting challenge to those to try to climb and reach the summit(?penmaker heaven?). May we use his inspiration to allow us all to go higher and keep constantly challenging our pen making capability.
I've come to share his gift to me, all that I ask is that you simply enjoy his art. Kindly refrain from any pro/con arguements towards the man. Enjoy the work as much as he's enjoyed the making of the "weaver's riddle".
