Each pen is unique, individually handcrafted on a wood lathe.
What started out as a hobby has become a passion for me. Each pen has its own unique character since each pen is crafted from a different piece of beautiful hardwood from North America, South America, Africa. or the Middle East. They all have a character of their own, and they make a statement that people will notice. Some pens have inlays of sterling silver, contrasting wood, or crushed stone, further enhancing their beauty and uniqueness.
Since I use my fountain pen daily, I prefer the smaller ink cartridge so that I can keep a spare in the barrel. This way when I run out of ink (usually within two weeks), I have the next cartridge ready to go. The other option is the longer cartridge which lasts twice as long but does not allow a spare to be stored inside the barrel. Lately it has been difficult to find the smaller cartridges so I make do with the longer ones. This longer type of cartridge is supplied with your pen and can be found at office supply stores.
Alternatives for Lefties
Unfortunately, fountain pens are difficult for left-handed writers to use since the flow of ink requires that fountain pens be drawn across the paper, not pushed. But, lefties, do not despair! Rollerball pens, which have a smoother flow than ballpoint pens, are available in the same styles as the fountain pens.
