    Case finish

    Hi All, Following on from my bullet case post... My preference for finish is just microcrystalline wax... I like these to be tactile and used and love to see patina build up on these. I have used acrylic laquer spray and Krylon (bake on spray for guns) but only if decorative finish requested...

    Pen case

    Can anyone please tell me what pen cases they use? I tend to use the Turners Retreat velvet boxes but it does push the price of my pens up as I don’t charge for them. They do protect the pen in the post though. There certainly are many cheaper case options out there but how good are they? Many...
