G'day! A customer from Japan asked if I could make her a huon pine burl pen, and wanted loud and bright finials. I showed her my blanks and she chose this exact mix. Giving customers this option absolutely blows their mind. They feel like they are part of the process, which is super cool and...

This may be a dumb question. Has anyone successfully made a lever filler fountain pen? I bought an old Esterbrook lever filler and it got me thinking about how I would go about making one.

G'day! Recently had a customer that wanted a combination of materials that I had trouble imagining how it would look. To me, I was too much, but he is super happy with it. Turned out better than I thought. A lovely piece of bloodwood burl sleeved with black ebonite, coloured ebonite finials and...

G'day! A customer asked for a lighter body and darker cap. Went through my stash and thought these would go well together. The spalting lines look fantastic! She wanted a natural finish, so sanded to 800 and rubbed in some bees wax polish. Fully sleeved with ebonite, section is also ebonite...

G'day Custom order, torpedo shape. Mallee burl and epoxy blank made by the burlshed in Australia. Lovely blue in this. Jowo #6 1.5 stub

G'day! Had a customer request am army themed pen, and he wanted a watch crown roll stop (kinda my thing I'm running with). It reminds me of a spare wheel on the back of an army truck! Matte finish on the acrylic, feels really nice in the hand. He is adding a nib from another pen, a black flex...

G'day! Found this peg at work in the rubbish pile. Surveyor's peg. I work in construction and see alot of things go to waste. Alot of the pegs are uninteresting but this piece caught my eye. I have no idea of the variety. It had a pleasant sweet fruity smell, quite an open grain and somewhere...

G'day! One of life's pleasures is turning Brooks blanks. They are mesmerising. Turn and thread perfectly. This one is Primary manipulation cool tone. There's a section of red which is so cool. One of my favourite blanks ever. Jowo #6 B

G'day! Finished this earlier tonight, a spectacular piece of figured black and white ebony, sleeves, finials and section is black ebonite. Watch crown roll stop, jowo #6 nib and ca finish. This was fun. Casey.

G'day! This piece of ebonite was a delight to turn. It revealed a lovely colour similar to buckeye burl a little. Had a play with adding pearls into the finials. Originally I was wanting to use a smaller pearl on the pen finial bit I got carried away with the hole and ended up too large. Really...

G'day! Sleeved this beautiful chunk of purple 💜 with some ebonite and made a massive pen! Ebonite section, Jowo #6 b, marble acrylic finials with abalone coin inlay, spacers, watch crown roll stop, CA finish. Thanks for looking! Casey.

G'day Custom order for a lady that has arthritis. She wanted the grip section and barrel a little wider. The beauty of custom pen making! Thanks for looking. Casey.

G'day! Made a few kitless pens since my last post, had to share this one. Kirinite acrylic, in particular the pearls, are absolutely fantastic. This teal was hard to photograph, my camera didn't want a bar of it so adjusted a filter to get it close to actual colour. Jowo #6. The customer...

G'day! This killer piece of stabilised buckeye burl was too short for a full kitless, so used some black acrylic for the cap and section. I sleeved the barrel with ebonite. The acrylic threads on ebonite threads feel fantastic! CA finish on the barrel I added a watch crown as a roll stop which...

G'day I spent most of today making this pen for myself. It is stabilised amboyna with kirinite rioja finials, section and sleeves. Natural polish and a Jowo #6 medium nib. This was a fun project, inspired by some of the kitless makers around the world. Pics are a bit cruddy, was getting dark...

G'day! A customer requested a pen made similar to my last cocobolo kitless, although he suffers from arthritis and needed a specific width and length. I fully sleeved the timber this time, to improve the structural integrity of the cross cut timber, but also to ensure that the nib doesn't dry...
