Wow, a true craftsman. Beautiful. More people should throw their phones away and write letters with pens like that. Love the deer antler.

Thanks for posting these photos, mprice. It's no wonder your pens were sold out! They are simply beautiful! Very impressive craftsmanship!

I am somewhat of a pen nut, hand-write letters often (agree with RR's comment), and much prefer to use a fountain pen. I've owned a number of them and just got a new one last month which includes an inkwell and powder to mix my ink. Found it on a colonial outfitter web site.

It looks like your nicely-crafted pens are primarily ballpoints. Do you make fountain pens as well? Is there a web site you run displaying your offerings?

The materials you've selected look great. I particularly like the Civil War pen you showed us with deer antler and, I'm certain, a BP rifle for the clip. Very 8-) . Thanks for sharing.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Thanks, everyone for your kind words.

And, PT7, I have made quite a few fountain pens for customers. Usually, they are special orders. While most of the pics are of ballpoints, the over/under deer antler and rosewood pen utilizes a german made ceramic rollerball cartridge.

The pen pictured here is made from Hawaiian Koa and included both fountain pen and rollerball fittings. It was a custom order for a gentleman who lived in Hawaii for many years as an anniversary gift for his wife.

As far as a website, I have a Facebook page that I post pictures to as I make pens for sale.
