Handmade pen /ink
Oak gall ink made last week
Maple wood pen ebonized by soaking In the oak gall tannin water and then dipping in iron (same process to make ink but onto the wood). Took about 3 days with a dull saw, an old rusty rasp, a pocket knife, and sandpaper.
brass holder was confiscated from a cheap pen, and used blue pumpkin or hunt 101 nib
Day 2 of learning copperplate
I’m going to make another pen because I have ideas about handle design/weight distribution/tail length, sanding it better, finish process, etc. as much as I love this one and the look, it taught me all the things to do better
