I just registered with FPN today and would be honored to make your pen dreams come true.

I am in the USA but ship world wide via USPS 1st class.

I create from kits and modified kits fountain, roller ball, ball point and pencil.

Mediums are your usual suspects of highly figured wood, self cast colorful acrylics and resins of all sorts allowing the use of any material including Alpaca wool or any such material or keepsake that is dear to you.

My standard series is at

I just found North View Crafts

By

Martin & Kay England at

 

http://www.northviewcrafts.co.uk I went round to buy a second hand washing machine and was surprised to find he makes pens, and fountain pens from wood, deer antler and bullets. His specialty appears to be whisky casks such as the local poison "Old Pultney Town".

 

If you do get in touch with him be sure to say hi from Eoghan!

I'll toss my hat into the ring here as well.

 

I make both Kit and Modified Kits. Styles include Fountian Pens, Roller/Gel Point, Ball point and pencils. I prefer to work in natural wood and love the "exotics." The more character the wood has, the better to me.

 

I have also developed a coloring method to color maple and other non descript woods to to make them look interesting.

 

I have instock a number of blanks just waiting to become fine pens for someone.

[jbswearingen]

I'm a fairly new addition here, but I'd like to be considered by the members.

 

1. Maryland, USA (just outside DC)

2. Kit pens. I'll eventually get into totally custom, but family, work, and school don't allow much time for practice.

3. I make all types, fountain, roller, ball, and pencil.

4. To date, I've used woods, stabilized woods, acrylic, antler, and buffalo horn.

5. www.swearingen-turnings.com

6. I can install whatever type of filler will fit into the kit that I use. The pen below uses either a punctured bladder or a screw-type piston filler.

 

 

This is the first FP I made. I've since learned to NOT take the picture of the pen supported on the nib. Please forgive my mistake! It's made from spalted amboyna burl in a Jr. Gent II kit. Nib is stock; upgrades can be ordered.

[drgoretex]

Hello all. I guess I've been kinda holding out on this, as I really like to take the 'artistic drive' wherever I wants to go, but on the other hand, I also really like making pens that people love. So, I'll throw my post in here as well.

 

1 - Location: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

 

2 - Work: Custom 'kitless' pens, primarily in acrylic resin and poly resin. I will do occasional kit pen work. I prefer making clipless pens as my focus is on the form and shape of the pen, and I find the clip detracts from that. Having said that, I certainly do pens with clips as well.

 

3 - Writing Instruments: Mostly custom Fountain Pens (cart/converter), though occasionally will do rollerball/ballpoint if I am doing a kit.

 

4 - Materials used: Currently focusing on acrylic resins and polyresin. Also do some work with exotic woods.

 

5 - Galleries:

[jjudge]

1. 
    
   
2. USA, Ohio
   
3. A lot of kits, some modified, and a few, nearly-full custom (i.e., minimal metal: couplers, etc.)
   
4. Fountain pens, rollerballs, very few ballpoint
   
5. Acrylic, some celluloid, some metals, soft stone: alabaster, soapstone, antler, cast-resin
   
6. Pensafari.com
   
7. fountain pen cartridges/pistons, and starting to work on sac fill mechanisms now
   

 

 

I have been moving towards completely custom pens, but still rely on couplers, feeds, etc vs. completely crafting all sections + threads (vs. custom body, threading, etc.). As of Jan 2012, I am working the non-kit pens in the larger, lighter body sizes -- consistent with the El Grande/Churchill size.

 

I believe I am the only one who has been making and selling Alabaster fountain pens

Looks like I'm a little late for the party but better late than never! I have been making custom pens for several years and have made pens on request on several occasions. One thing that appeals to my customers is that I custom blend my resins and can match virtually any color.

 

Here are some particulars:

 

I am located in Show Low, Arizona and I spent several years assembling kit pens and while I don't make them anymore, I can upon request. My passion is making my own line of fountain pens with the occasional rollerball pen. I make everything from scratch except the nibs and feeds. I love working with silver and my more recent pens include a nice mix of silver embellishments. I generally make pens that use cartridges or converters but have made button fillers, button fillers and can make just about anything one wants. I have a nice collection of exotic woods as well as acrylic, cebloplast, ebonite and trustone materials.

 

To see the type of work I do, please visit my website: Arizonapenco.com

George Butcher
