Walnut Brown Ink
Walnut Brown Ink
Historic Walnut ink, 1 oz.
Designed for Dip Pen and Quill
Unlike many walnut colored inks, this ink is made from extracted black walnut hulls giving you an true walnut color. Black walnut ink was used primarily in the new world and a our formula is based on colonial era recipes.
Our historic inks are formulated using period recipes and analysis of period inks. These inks are designed for use with genuine quills and dip pens, NOT fountain pens, as they will not work correctly in fountain pens, and will either corrode or clog (or both) the inner workings of a fountain pen.
As these are made using historic recipes and techniques there will be some variation between each batch; however, the flow of every batch of ink is tuned by hand to give proper behavior from a quill.
Each of our historic inks come in a 1 oz bottle with a screw-top lid that has been dipped in wax to give it a more authentic style.
