New Acrylics...

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!

A Rare Find

A Rare Find...

I was recently able to get my hands on more Brazilian Rosewood.

This is a pretty special find.

For nearly a decade, the harvesting of Brazilian Rosewood has been banned under the Convention of the International Trade of Endangered Species (CITES).  As a result of the convention, only Brazilian Rosewood certified to have been felled before 1992 can be traded.  In recent years, this has increasingly confined supplies to preexisting stocks of guitar sets and veneers.

I found a source for this wood that has been importing "recovered" rosewood.  This wood is certified to have been obtained from the stumps of rosewood trees felled prior to 1992.  Bottom line here is that Brazilian Rosewood would be nearly impossible if not illegal to find in quantities large enough to create any kind of solid furniture.  All that is left is wood for veneers and small projects like pens.

About a year ago, I found enough to make the pen that you see above, and then couldn't find any more.  One of my suppliers recently called to let me know that they just received a limited supply.  I went ahead and bought enough to make five pens. 

Not knowing if or when I can ever find more, I haven't decided what to do with all of them yet.  I will keep enough on hand for custom orders.  If you are interested in a pen made from truly a rare specimen, contact me and we can certainly work something out.
