New stock of material

[Pete B]

Hi All,

Had an enjoyable chat with Vince at the The Turners Workshop last night spent way too much cash and haven't quite told the boss lady yet.
he managed to get most of Conway Stewart's stock from their recent sad closure.
I ve used it before and although it can be sometimes a bit more difficult than some acrylics, the provenance is starting to work a bit for me now.
Some customers love the fact that they are getting a pen with the same genuine material some seriously expensive pens are made with, well were.
Heres some pics.
I m not on a retainer but just thought i would share as its worth a try.


Heres a mixture of Conway Stewart and some vintage penrods from about 1920's onward and the depth of colour of some of the vintage stuff is special, they are tubes though so might need a bit of creativity.



Heres why i'm seriously on the naughty step but i'm not too bothered though got some great material that will keep me busy for a while.



Regards

Pete

They are beautiful, what are the inside and outside dims of the tubes Pete?

 

[Buckeye]

Gorgeous stuff, I will have to phone him, I pulled out one of the tubes I had from him and earmarked it for an experiment, but some of that solid conway gear would be nice.

There are a couple of sizes and there not quite uniform.
Measured 3 and they ranged from 13 to 15mm approx od and id's 8mm to 9.4mm so they are a few variations.
The smaller one od12.4mm id 7.1mm.
There might be a smaller one as well not too sure now as i thought i only picked the bigger ones.

Regards

Pete

Hi Pete, where are you? I'm just north of Morpeth.

I think quite a few of the guys have seen this stuff and like you I spent more than a little on some of it a while ago. Vince is a really nice guy and I pop in regularly, maybe we could meet up on one of the visits?
He has an extensive stock of kits and materials. You need a secret compartment in your boot to hide half of it before you get home
