All Write Now! Vintage Fountain Pens and Fountain Pens from India

VARUNA^TM FOUNTAIN PENS
AllWriteNow is proud to represent Varuna^TM Fountain Pens from India! These pens are simply the finest quality Indian ebonite fountain pens that we have found and we are committed to bringing them to our customers. AllWriteNow is the exclusive North American importer and distributor of Varuna^TM Fountain Pens. For the convenience of our EUROPEAN customers, Varuna^TM Pens are now in-stock and available for delivery from Cathedral Pens.  In addition, Varuna^TM Pens will now be represented at select European Fountain Pen Shows.
Varuna^TM Pens are not mass produced. They are made one pen at a time by hand. The fit and finish of these pens could only be achieved by master craftsmen.

     Left: Like many other custom pen makers in the West, care and attention to detail are paramount. A fountain pen being worked on a lathe.
Middle: Cutting Ebonite Rod Stock is first step in the Handmade process.
  Right: M.S. Pandurangan, a master penmaker for more than 30 years, polishing one of the Varuna^TM Pens. Maybe it's your pen?

NEW BAKUL^TM EBONITE FINISHES

Available on ALL Colors and Styles
In response to customer feedback, we have decided to rename our "raw" pen finish. The word "raw" can be read to imply that a final polishing step is left out. On the contrary: the distinctive finish of these pens requires an extra step. It is created completely by hand. The finish has been described as resembling the grain of wood and/or tree bark, and so we have decided to adopt the name "Bakul," in honor of an Indian tree species by that name.

Because the BAKUL^TM finish is created completely by hand, one pen at a time, we are able to adjust the texture to suit individual preferences. The standard texture has the warm feel of antique, heavily grained wood, and it is the overwhelming favorite among our customers. But we can also, on request, create a smooth matte finish (like the bark of a young Bakul tree) or a highly textural, deeply grained finish (like the bark of a mature Bakul tree).
