Hi Pen Fans.

What follows are pictures of some new acrylic material that I was recently able to acquire. 

First is a nice array of flecked colors, and then a PERFECT copy of Parker Orange.

Here is the array of flecked acrylics...

From left to right - Red, Black, Green, and Slate.

From left to right - Yellow, Blue, White, Black/White, and Peach.


 

Below is a great acrylic material.  This is a PERFECT copy of Parker orange.

My supplier of this material literally sent the manufacturer a classic Parker and told him to copy it.

It took the manufacturer two tries, but they got it right.

The pen shown above is a clipless Glenmont.

All of the new materials above are available for any pen design.

Thanks for reading!

Hey Pen Fans!

I recently put a computer in the shop (very handy), and I thought to myself, "Why not set up a webcam?"

So you will now see a tab on the left side of the page that will access my webcam so you can watch me making pens.  Or you can access the page with this link...

You will also see my typical schedule for when I'm in the shop.  I'll keep that updated so you will know when to expect to see me.

Thanks!

Hi Pen Fans!

You might have noticed a change to my business.

Effective immediately, Pencraft will be known as The Edison Pen Company.

A couple of reasons...

When I first started my business, I was doing wooden pens from kits.  The name Pencraft fit what I was doing perfectly.

However, my pens have gone beyond the 'craft show' stage, and they are more along the likes of other high-end penmakers.

Because of this, I really feel that Pencraft is no longer a good descriptor of what I do and what my business is all about.

Some of you might know this already, but my business is located in Milan, OH.  This is the birthplace of Thomas Edison.

With this in mind, all of my pens have been named after Thomas Edison in one way or another.

So when I felt that it was time to change the name of my business, The Edison Pen Company was naturally a perfect fit.

The new web address will be edisonpen.com

However, pencraftonline.com will still redirect you right here to this site.

I would like to ask my clients for their understanding if there is any confusion around this change.

Nothing will change except for the name.  The same pens, the same Brian making them, and the same service!

Thanks.

Hey Pen Fans!

I have a new pen design at Pencraft.

This pen is called the Glenmont.

The Glenmont is inspired by the Parker Duofold.  I think you'll agree with me when I say that the orange model just screams "Parker Duofold Big Red".

All of these pens are made from various ebonites.  I've been waiting for a great design to devote some of my more special ebonites to, and this is it.

I will have some acrylics in this design soon.

Hey Pen Fans!

I often get questions from clients wondering how my pens compare to some of the major manufacturers in regard to size.

A client of mine did some nice photography work, and put together a nice side-by-side comparison of my Herald next to some of his other favorite pens.

What follows is a good visual reference of how my Herald pen stacks up to some other great pens.

This is the Herald that the client bought...

And here's how the Herald looks next to (from top to bottom) a Sailor 1911 21k, Sailor King of Pen, Mont Blanc 149, The Herald, and a Nakaya Equilibrium

These pictures accompanied a nice review of the pen.
