3D rotary carved aluminum fountain pen that is 5-1/8” (13cm) long and weighs 1.3oz (37g). The cap is postable and the posted length of the pen is 6-1/2” (16.5cm). Aluminum is a wonderful material to use for pens. It is light in weight yet attractive.

While today the metal has little intrinsic value of its own, it’s ability to be creatively worked allows an artist to convert it from the ordinary to the extraordinary.
