Traditional Quills

Cory/Goggs, thanks for all the helpful advice. I'm going to look into that.

I'll get back to you all at a later date if I am able to make signet rings a purchasable possibility. Geoff, I'm sure I'll run into you sooner or later and we'll talk then.

For now I'm going to keep carving some quills and readying a stockpile for January.

I already have a signet ring, make the old fashioned way. If you have access to a CNC milling machine (doesn't everyone) the design possibilities are limitless. I imagine an ECD machine would also work as well. :huh:

I'll take a quill - writing with them is not that difficult once one experiments a bit. The trick is not to have someone take your nicely written stuff OOG

We can speak about ink.

There's multiple Black Walnut trees in camp, if someone wants to make ink the old fashioned way...

I would most definitely be interested in a quill.

Shh... Geoff, you're giving away the ink surprise (I was fooling around with the blackwalnut tree in my backyard...with varying [read catastrophic] results).

I have to say, I'm totally blown away by how interested people are in these sorts of things.

and for those of you not brave enough to try a traditional quill I will still have my modern take on the traditional quill on hand.
