    Bock no8 pen

    A little while ago I was gifted a Gold Bock no8 nib. I kept it to one side for a while as I wasn't sure I liked the idea of a nib that size, but a couple of weeks ago I decided to make myself a pen for it. I made a slightly wider pen than I usually do, meaning 14mm cap threads (instead of my...

    Walnut Mistral

    I haven't posted for a while because I haven't made many pens for a while. I have been busy with lots of other things. This Beaufort Mistral was made today to commission for a gentleman who wanted a walnut pen with a Bock 1.1mm "italic" calligraphy nib. Finished with melamine lacquer.

    Bock Section Applied

    I used blue ebonite (with slight black grain lines) for the barrel and cap of this pen. The trim is done with black ebonite, and the white rings were credit cards in their last lives. (It was actually my secretary’s AARP card, though I am certain that she is far too young for membership.) The...
