The Master Penman’s Masterful Pen Blocks

American Master Penman Michael R. Sull has made a vocation out of his love of calligraphy and fine handwriting, producing works in Spencerian and American cursive as well as teaching his craft around the world. As one might imagine, Sull possesses a large collection of fountain pens.

“Every pen became a friend I cherished, and 1 always placed them carefully in my desk drawer,” Sull says. “Soon, I wished that there was some way 1 could have them on display all the time, yet grouping them together in a water glass seemed somehow disrespectful to these beautiful tools.”

One of his longtime avocations since his youth as a Boy Scout has been woodworking, and along his journey, Sull found a means of uniting his love of wood with his desire to display his “cherished friends” appropriately.
