Perfect Gift: Wood Fountain Pens
Whenever there rises the need for a gift
The decent majority of experienced pen collectors, passionate amateur lovers of fine writing instruments
and all other “in-the-know” can easily draw a solid distinguishing
line between professionally manufactured, mass-produces, mechanically engraved
and encrusted writing instruments, and hand-crafted wood fountain pens. The
latter items are pure gems in the eyes of connoisseurs treasuring the delicate
uniqueness of each of the crafted pens.
When you
buy a pen from a world-renowned manufacturer like Mont Blanc or Parker, you
can’t really expect to get a unique piece of art. With wood fountain pens
crafted by skilled amateurs it is a whole lot different story.
You can
communicate directly with the craftsman ? talk face-to-face, discussing the
chores and every aspect of final design. You can order the material, the type
of wood, the nib, discuss texture and size, choose the filling mechanism
(piston of converter), participate in designing the gift box, etc. That is,
your input is significant at every stage of crafting the wood pen. And you are
in control of every step, from developing the idea into the final piece of art
to presenting it to someone you care for. With the help of a skilled craftsman
who “feels” the wood and truly treasures the art of writing, you can
materialize just about every idea, turn your vision of a dream fountain pen
into reality!
If you
choose a wood fountain pen as a gift to someone loved, a friend or a colleague,
you may be 100% sure that your present will be like no one else’s. It is just
impossible to carve two identical pens from wood — at least the texture
pattern will bi different on each piece.
Yet another great thing about personalized wood fountain pens is that people tend to care
more for such fine writing instruments because of the uniqueness the latter
possess. Every such pen intensifies the emotional ties, accentuates the
personal attitude, signify the strong friendship or respect, and lets everyone
stand out from the crowd.
With the
help of World Wide Web, it is easy to find an experienced craftsman to do the job. Of
course you should plan your order well in advance ? a wood fountain pen can’t
be made in a hurry, it is a living material that needs special conditions to be
prepared for crafting process. So if you think of presenting someone with a
memorable gift , I suggest that you consider ordering a wood fountain pen.
