I have been hard at starting a new service lol. Basically just trying to find something to occupy my time and give me something to do other than sit in the office all day. So for the past week or so I have been learning via hands on and researching.It is still a work in progress but getting better at it every time. I have been wanting to do this for years and thought now would be a good time since things are how they are.
I have been learning to make custom ink pens from exotic woods and such. I thought it would make good gifts to give to folks especially like with here on CBid since most of us do keep a cigar journal of some sorts or whats the "Uppity" Term a Dossier.... I had to throw out pinky finger to type Dossier... Oops there goes the Pinky finger again.
Any who, I been making, Ball Points, Roller Balls, Fountain pens, Click pens, Twist Pens all that chit. Made from Purple heart, Walnut, Sapele Wood, Tasmanian Black wood etc.
I figure if I get good enough at it for custom pens to non friends lol I can sell them and maybe be able to keep up my cigar habit. Besides, it keeps me from rotting away by having something to do. Once I get this down then next is learning to turn wooden bowls and such.
This is just a scrap piece I had of maple wood to learn on and using a wood dye I am experimenting with.
any who I hope all of you are well.
