Handcrafted Fountain Pens from Exotic Woods and Resins by Giovanni Pens

Zachary Fruhling
Recently there has been a resurgence in the popularity of fountain pens. Many people have grown weary of writing with boring ballpoint pens and are yearning for a more civilized way and elegant way to write. The classic fountain pen is the perfect solution for those people who want a degree of class and style in their writing instruments. Along with this resurgence in popularity has come a demand for fine and premium handcrafted fountain pens. While there are many makers of handcrafted pens on the market, I am most impressed by the fountain pens by Giovanni Pens.

Giovanni Pens are handcrafted from a variety of woods and resins and decorated with a variety of hand-done artwork in a variety of styles and traditions. The wooden fountain pens by Giovanni Pens are available in a variety of exotic woods, including Afzelia Burl, Bocote, Lacewood, Snakewood and Tulipwood. Customers of Giovanni Pens have dozens of wood selections from which to choose the materials for the custom fountain pens of their dreams. And if an exotic wood fountain pen is out of your price range, you can opt for an interesting variety of other materials such as resin and celluloid for your custom handmade fountain pen.

In addition to custom designed fountain pens made to individual customer's specifications, Giovanni Pens offers a selection of one-of-a-kind fountain pens made by the owner and chief artist of Giovanni Pens, Johnathan Burton. Pens by Johnathan Burton are each hand designed and hand painted, and each piece is truly unique and made to exacting standards of quality, durability, and elegance. Writing with a fountain pen is a wonderful experience, but writing with a true handcrafted fountain pen, which is really a work of art, makes a special experience truly magical.

While I have always been an avid user of fountain pens myself, I have seldom been as impressed by the designs of most fountain pens to the degree that I am impressed by the pens by Giovanni Pens. While Giovanni Pens are somewhat out of my price-range for the moment, they remain some of the most elegant and tastefully designed handcrafted fountain pens I have ever seen. And Giovanni Pens goes out of its way to show you how to maintain and care for your custom wood or resin fountain pen via lots of useful information on the Giovanni Pens website.

In conclusion, Giovanni Pens represents the finest in handcrafted fountain pens and traditional writing instruments. Fountains pens may be enjoying a resurgence in popularity, but a truly unique and handcrafted fountain pen will set you apart as the elite of the elite of fountain pen users. Giovanni Pens is doing its part to keep an elegant tradition alive and well in an age of modern conveniences but precious little elegance.
