Bamboo Dip Pen
March 31, 2014
Matt N. and Wanjun Z. whittled down bamboo sticks for dip fountain pens before Matt realized hey we have an awesome woodshop. A minute or two on the oscillating spindle sander was all they needed to create precision bamboo dip pens with various nib widths. These pens hold a surprising amount of ink and have perfect balance and great nib feedback. Wanjun then transferred a circuit tree graphic onto the pen with an acrylic gel medium.
Material: Acrylic gel medium, Bamboo, Paint, Paper
