Quill & Nib

A hobby I do from time to time... They are lathe turned and constructed from acrylics, polycarbonates, acrylesters, celluloids, deer antlers, exotic and native wood species, etc.

VG...those are cool. Do you ever sell any of them?

Re: Quill & Nib

You may consider those to be "just a hobby," but I'd put those up against any of the professionally manufactured expensive pens I see in the mall any day - in fact, being handmade I think they have even more worth.

Beautiful artistry

Re: Quill & Nib

Thanks for the compliments. I really haven't made much of an attempt to sell them but the few times I have, they have been well received. I make various pens from Olivewood shipped over from annual root trimmings in Bethlehem that people go nuts for at Christmas. I laser engrave crosses or the people name and inlay them with gold. Unfortunately I have a shortttttt attention span so I don't stick with one hobby long enough to do much with it.

I'm making musical instruments now - who knows what tomorrow will bring...

Re: Quill & Nib

If the first instrument I finish is as bad as the first pen I did... it is all about the learning curve! Isn't that what life is all about for that matter? That's probably why I jump from "hobby" to "hobby" so often. Or at least that is what I tell myself.

I agree with Wes
