Slot In Progress: 6
-
Quarterly (or so) I will release batches of commission slots, which will be available via the link above. Availability is on a first-come, first-served basis, and commissions will be completed in numerical order according to their slot number.
Limit one slot per customer, per release.
Each commission slot will be $50 to secure. This is refundable, and goes toward the final cost of the pen.
When your slot number comes up, I will reach out via email to finalize details. Once details are settled, a refundable deposit of 30% of the final cost will be due.
Once completed, the balance will be due and your new, one-of-a-kind custom product will be on its way to you!
FAQ

What are my options?
Models -
Unlike many makers, I don't offer particular "models". Tell me what sizes, weights, and shapes you like, and we'll figure out the best fit!
Materials -
All of my pens will incorporate some sort of resin, acrylic, ebonite, or other threadable material to encapsulate the nib unit and converter in an air- & water-tight environment. Exotic timbers, micartas, imitation opal, and abalone can be used in your design, as well as small amounts of metal.
Nibs -
My default option will be a Jowo #6, however I can (and do) make pens for Bock & Schmidt #6, Bock & Jowo #8, Pelikan M800/M1000, and others. Chances are, if you have a nib in mind, we can incorporate it.
How long does it take?
As I will be addressing them in numerical order, overall times are going to vary depending on which slot you get in the order. Later slots will have lead times up to approximately 90 days from the date of their release. So, if you know you want something, but need some time to think, grab a later slot! Once a commission has been started, I aim to be finished within 2 weeks.
Will you recreate previously commissioned pens?
Sure! I am more than happy to make a pen I have previously made, again!
Will you recreate another maker/company's pen?
No.
Will you rush my order?
Nope. It's just not fair to keep kicking folks to the back of the line because they can't fork over extra cash.
