White oak, walnut, and Baltic birch ply. 3d printed pen dividers. It’s heavy and pen dividers are slick, so it doesn’t travel, but it’s held up really well.

Things vary, but lately I like my Pilot Capless (steel nib), and a Lamy Safari with a surprisingly nice stub from a clone.

I also really like my vintage Sheaffer with the 14k conical nib, my Parker 51 Special, and an old Hero 330 I ground into a stub many years ago.

The only pen I’ve ever regretted selling was a Pelikan M200 retrofitted with a 250’s gold BB.
