Is that the vegetable ivory that I have seen mentioned?

Vegetable ivory is Tagua nut isn't it? Usually the nuts look just a bit too small for pen blanks.


I've had mixed success with polyester ivory, had some where the 'grain' of it was quite prevalent, and another bit where it was just plain white.

Looks good. Rollerball or fountain pen? Do you have a picture of it with the cap off? That would answer my first question too. :wink:

That is a nice pen, is it one of the empress pen kits?

I've done a few pens myself and one thing I would like to find is a white pen box to present wedding pens in. Does anyone know where I can buy good quality white pen boxes??

 

[SteveF]

it is the roman harvest from timberbits

Not designed necessarily for pens - CooksonGold do a white leatherette bracelet box which you might be able to 'adapt'. It's nominally 243 x 60 x 27mm and costs £2.63 + VAT + delivery (though sometimes FREEPOST is available for orders over £25). Their reference is 996 524W

I'm not knocking the skill it takes to make them, but I think pens like this are sooo tacky. I just can't imagine why anyone would like them. Each to their own, I suppose, but surely I'm not the only one to find them hideous?
