Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get my pen engraved?
Yes, but I don’t recommend it. The available surface is limited, and the engraving process can interfere with the longevity of the pen.
I have my own material. Can you make a pen from it?
Depending on the material, sure. Some wood needs to be stabilized before it can be turned (particularly if it is from a recently dead tree), and other materials may need treatments, but Your Nome De Plume has experience with a wide range of materials.
How much do they cost?
There is a fairly wide range, depending on the hardware, type of material and timeframe. Know that I seek the best materials and do my best to keep costs down. My prices are highly competitive with other similar custom products.
Do you keep an inventory?
Yes, but as this inventory is constantly changing, I do not sell directly through the website. Just reach out to me and I can share existing stock.
