Whew, finally caught up.

This the last of the custom orders to go out before Christmas. Got it in the mailbox right as the truck was coming down the street.

If my dad was still around, I'd want a pen for him. He loved beautiful, well-finished wood.

I make two styles of fountain pens- one a large beefy version, one smaller.

Cross-threaded caps are the bane of pen aficionados.

Do they come in different point sizes, such as "fine", "medium", etc..?

I know that they can be replaced (it's a 'standard' nib holder), but I've never gotten that into the fountain pens. The small ones I sell have a #6 german nib, but that's about all I know about it.

My writing style would leave a blurry slur across a page with fountain pens. I normally use a parker ultra-fine so that the ink is more or less dry by the time my hand wipes across it.

My favorite.It is a good choice to send a pen as Christmas gift for your friends.
