Pen of the Week - 21 August 2017

[Vic Perrin]

This weeks Pen of the Week chosen by Walter goes to Berea Elegant Americans made by Phil Dart.

Walter said "My choice is Phil's pair of Berea Elegant Americans
made from a piece of rotting pinnacle from an Edwardian something or other.

I have always liked those Berea Kits and these are nicely made versions but my main reason for my choice is the making of something from such uninspiring raw material. Well done that man "

Thank you Walter. Not the most exciting pens in the world, but definitely up there amongst the most challenging I've had to make in my time.

And thank you one and all for your kind comments - they are much appreciated.
