Hello pen friends. Can anybody believe it’s nearly Christmas again? This year has flown by
at a quite alarming rate.

Here’s a batch of 5 pens I made recently. My go to size for cap threads is always 13mm, as it’s a nice medium width that fits most hands. However my own personal preference is 14mm and I’ve started to make more in that size. I can see that I will eventually move towards making the majority of pens like this, but I do have a number of existing and loyal customers who like the 13mm so I won’t ever abandon it completely.

These are all made from Omas Amber which is my favourite material. I do own a couple of pens made from this in my personal collection.

Nib is Jowo and is fed by a threaded Schmidt converter. The red accent rings and black finials are acrylic.

Cheers
Ash

What's not to like with those beauties, that Omas is beautiful and the accents are a perfect match, as to size, that's a personal thing...but an important thing, well done mate!

Exquisite as always Ash

I know what you mean about diameter, It’s a very personal thing but as with tool handles what feels right for one is not for another.

Merry Christmas and a successful New Year
