Have been a member for many years and once corresponded with some blank suppliers, recall one MAY have been from California. Have always been fond of fountain pens although my handwriting is horrible. I am in want of a fist sized chunk of figured walnut to use to make a desk stand for a fountain pen. As a saw miller, I have damaged too many pens with daily carry. How have a stainless steel Lamy 2000 for this purpose but would like to use a Peican which is now in shop for repairs. If anyone could part with such a chunk of walnut, I would be interested. Thanks, Tyler
