No matter the year, I'm just not a Black Friday kind of person, and I don't get involved in all the hoopla and sales. However, this year I happened to have a Black & White Wednesday, as this cool pen arrived in the mail.
This is from a small run of pens done for Lauren at Lucky Star Pens, a small side-business she runs. I think she called them "Lucky Stripes" pens, I happen to call mine "Beetlejuice". The pen was turned by Dan Symonds, who at one point was a machinist/pen-turner at Franklin-Christoph. The workmanship is spot on, can't figure how he centered the blanks so well. The pen is almost identical in size to my recently posted Parker Duofold Sr, and the only alteration I did was put in a black Jowo nib I had... just because.
Here's hoping you all had a nice Thanksgiving and are having a swell weekend!
Cheers,
Jon
