Drewnem Pisane (Wood Written) - Behind the scene - How a fountain pen is made. Part11. Diamond blocks and acrylics

Although we pour the resin ourselves and create blocks to suit our needs, sometimes we are tempted by such unusual patterns. One series that fascinated us – these were blocks with real diamond dust. They sparkled in the sun like stars, were beautifully colored, shiny and obscenely expensive. Of course, the diamond particles were real and certified. In addition to all this, there was transport, customs duties and, as Marcin said, it would be cheaper to buy a diamond ring😊. Some quite successful fountain pens have been made from these blocks, and we sometimes use the leftover material as inserts or for sections. The same applies to acrylic blocks or other resins. We browse knife forums, where there are cool materials for handles. This is how we bought blocks: striped, dotted, layered, with zigzags, multi-colored, with scale patterns, leather, wood, stone and many others. Each block we chose was liked by at least one person: Kamila or Marcin. Our love for interesting materials translates into the variety of pens.
