Hello, and thank you for viewing this item.  All of our products are individually handcrafted to the highest standards of quality, craftsmanship, and artistry.  Our goal is to provide our customers with unique and lasting tools to promote their own individual creativity to the highest levels.  All of our dip pens are crafted from solid, natural products.

About our pens: From the very first pen that was turned, Double Dip Pen Arts' pens have been individually numbered in sequence as they have been completed, and all of our pens have included a certificate bearing this "serial number" as well as the date of completion, an artist's signature, and other details specific to each individual pen from our lathe. No two of our pens are ever exactly alike since they are individually turned (not mass produced), and we made the decision at the very beginning of turning pens to forego the use of any fixed templates or exact measurements in the creation of our pens. On the few occasions when we have "reproduced" one of our original designs, there is no possibility for an exact replication due to our "freehand" production techniques, as well as the unique "fingerprint" of the woods contained within the pens themselves in the form of their grains and other unique physical characteristics. This all adds up to a unique and original pen creation every time that can never be exactly matched or reproduced by anyone. We believe that our exceedingly-high-quality dip pens should be as individual and unique as the creative souls who own and use them, and that is a commitment to our customers that we have stood by since the start.

Please be sure to visit our shop to view our complete line of dip pens and sets.  

This listing is for one solid wood oblique dip pen with one D.Leonard flexible dip pen nib as pictured.  

*Note from the artist: "The wood for this pen was acquired from a small 'mom and pop' milling operation in the southern region of the USA - one that functions primarily through environmentally sensible and responsible practices. We always make an effort to support other small businesses - but most especially those that provide assurance that they are environmentally conscientious and responsible. For the most part, we do rely on an honor system in determining that the businesses we work with favor conservation, and though this may not yield 100% in the 'compliance department", we feel quite comfortable that the majority of our sources are honest about this and true to their word, and that at the end of the day the majority of our raw supplies are coming from responsible sources. In addition, and for our own part, Double Dip Pen Arts currently operated with more than 90% of our energy supplied via alternative energy resources - currently our own independent, off-grid solar power system is our main source of power source, with a back up gas generator just for those unavoidable period when we have too many cloudy days in a row (our goal is set to rely on as close to 100% alternative energy as possible by the end of this year - once we expand our existing solar system just a bit more and install a wind system to supplement it.) In addition, we have always employed a 65% ratio, or greater of recycled to new materials in our shipping process for our outbound orders, and we accomplish this via our own in-house practices of recycling/re-purposing of the papers and cardboard's arriving on our doorstep from those we order materials from in the course of running our business. So at the end of the day, our products not only promote the Arts; they also promote the environment as much as we can! :)"
