WELCOME!

Welcome to my Custom Fountain Pen website/blog. I decided to put this website together for fellow penmakers, friends, and anyone interested in commissioning a custom pen - to give me a place to show some of the pens that I have made, discuss the finer aspects of the pen making hobby, or simply to talk about pens in general.

Have a look at my posts to see some of the work I am doing lately, or see my pricing guide in the link below to the right, or check the link to my current inventory of already-made pens (usually small, as most of my work is by commissions/orders).

Or, if you are interested, you can see some of the work I have done previously in my Custom Pen Gallery on Photobucket!

If you have a Twitter account, I am @drgoretex

If any of my posts generate particular interest, I will pin them as links on the right (eg 'Basic Nib Adjusting 101').

See the bottom of this page for some REVIEWS!

Please note: These pens have turned out to be unexpectedly popular (leaving me immensely pleased and rather humbled), and I have quite a number of orders pending. As of the end of March 2013, the wait time is around 10 months for a pen. I wish I could promise faster service, but sadly, my regular job is too demanding :-)
Thanks for your patience!

Green Swirl Bamboo and Pen Rest



While I have posted pics of a Green Swirl Bamboo before, I thought I would put this one up anyway.  The person who ordered this pen had seen pics of the previous one, and was drawn to the cool acrylic, but also wanted a matching pen rest for it, having seen the other pen rests that I recently did.










As I was making this pen rest, I thought I would try something a bit different - so I added some black trim to each end of it, and then inlaid some black and green swirl acrylic into the black trim.  I rather liked how it came out - I hope the new owner does as well!



Thanks for looking!

Ken
