Finished up a few more pens yesterday. Amboina burl, snakewood, red dyed red bees wing nara, wine dyed curly maple and a black and gold dyed boxelder burl for myself.

Sweet :D
I'm still using fountain pens but haven't been active in the forums there. I'm using 2 Japanese pens, Pilots, Vanishing Point, and Custom 74 demo. I'm in love with the VP's so far :D
They do look very luxurious!
Love the idea of wine dye! Never heard of it before.
Now I just wish I'd have more use for a pen like that.
very nice! what nibs do you use?
dwarvenchef-->I'm another VP fanboy. most useful pen ever.
Hey there guys. I have been considering getting a good old fashioned fountain pen, but what would be a good pen to consider as an entry level pen to start off with, and really learn the ropes of finery such as this good stuff?
How much do you want to spend?Quote:

The most handy would be the Vanishing Point. I love the Vanishing Point.
I also recomend Richard Binder for your purchase. I am not affilated just a happy customer.

You can go from a hundred to several thousand. There are quite a few fountain pen threads in this forum. You may want to do a search for fountain pen and read through those threads.
My favorite pen dealer is Richard Binder at richardspens(dot)com. His site is a good resource for a new pen nut. Also check out fountain pen network.
Also that a great finish you have put on those pens Dave. I can't imagine how they look in person.

Very nice indeed. Where do you sell your great work?
