I carved this pen out of a rectangular wood block on a wood lathe. I tried to make it look a bit antique.
It's a little embarrassing, but after finishing it with lacquer and holding it in my hand, when I tried to write with it, it was incredibly difficult to balance. I didn't think about the most crucial thing while I was making the pen, that I had to be careful not to make it top-heavy. _3_
I ended up giving it to my dad as a birthday present, and strangely, he doesn't seem to have a problem at all with the heaviness of the pen.
Maybe people with strong hands do not notice anyway?
