    Bruh. I make pens as a hobby. Happy to make and ship you one.

    I still have the three on the right and the third from the left on hand. Can also make whatever.

    The stripey one, second from the right is recycled skateboard deck. Those have been really popular. I’ve got a big ol’ stack of skateboard decks ready to go to make more of them :D

        The bolt action is wenge with a oil/wax blend friction polished finish. I’m asking $100 for it with free shipping to anywhere in the continental US. It comes with a free black faux-velvet sleeve for safekeeping.

        I will ship internationally, but that’s not included, sadly.

        I still have the third one available. I’m asking $50 for it, with free shipping to the continental US. It’s padauk, canarywood, katalox, and leopardwood with an aluminum inlay and a cyanoacrylate finish…

      Those are fantastic, thank you for sharing!! I just bought my first cheapo fountain pen and I find it really intriguing. If I stick with it, I’d definitely consider buying one from you. Do you have an online store somewhere, or could I just DM you in the future to see about buying one?
