Handcarved Dip Pen Nib Holders Stained with India Ink

Here are some nib holders I carved from dowel rods. Not the fanciest wood, it was soft enough to do with a craft knife.

Then I stained them with India ink and a polyurethane varnish. 

I think they will be posted on Etsy soon. They come with the nib, which I also bought on Etsy. That makes the price a tad higher because nibs are pricey!!!
