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!

Tiger Stripey Cigar Style Fountain Pen



Here is a pen I just finished this evening, a cigar style fountain pen in a  tiger - stripey acrylic that just keeps coming back, by popular demand.  The rich gold colour and irridescent swirl gives this material a lovely depth indeed.



The pen is fitted with a medium two-tone steel nib by JoWo of Germany, and is a cartridge/converter filler (converter installed).


Well, extra short post this time, as I have to run for my son's soccer game.

Comments welcome as always.

  2. Oooh I really like this one and I"m not much for tiger stripes. One of my favourite holidays is Halloween and this pen has the same colours which makes it even more awesome. This makes the 6th pen of yours on my ultimate wishlist. Now to win that lottery!
