Pictures from Customers

Pen lovers who purchase boxes from me to protect their precious pens and ink often send me pictures with their pens in the box I made for them.  Please contact me if you see a box here that interests you; I often can create another similar one.  I’ll try to note any boxes that are truly one-offs.

Gurkha Viper, finished with MinWax “Gunstock” stain and hand-rubbed varnish, fitted with two levels holding five pens each.  Perfect protection for pens in regular rotation.

Gurkha Viper (see above) and Ninja, finished to match the Viper, for ink storage.

A good-looking pair for a desktop.

 

 

 

 

 

Davidoff Lancaster, a pocket-size cigar tin, fitted with velvet pen tray and a padded “tongue” to hold pens in place.  Pens, left to right: Waterman Patricia, Columbus Extra 130, Pelikan 320 (modern), Osmia Faber Castell 662.  This particular tin is difficult to find, but I have other pocket-size tins that can be finished in similar fashion.
