Sharing some pics of my new Woodex flat top pen. Woodex pens are made by a veteran pen turner Mr P Prabhakara Chari who is based in the Masab tank area of Hyderabad. His pens have now become available for direct purchase by pen enthusiasts by contacting him or his relatives on their mobile telephone no. The stock nib option on this pen is an Indian 35mm nib (western no 6) in steel finish with F or M tips. Now I felt the steel finish nib did not go well with the golden trim of the pen. I was looking for a vehicle to carry my 35mm Kanwrite Architect/Arabic nib and this woodex thus became my Woodex Arabic. The pics: The nib, it starts off as a BB which is then reground. https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/uploads/imgs/fpn_1597328668__c79f516f-8be1-4534-861e-bc3cb7a0878c.jpeg The Arabic alongside my trusty Big Red. A writing sample. The stock pen cost me 950/- plus shipping. The Arabic nib was another few hundred rupees from KW. Installation was self done. Its a nice pen. The nib is very smooth with a slightly sailor zoom nib type behaviour. Best Hari
