in reply to OT: Favorite notebooks and pens

I wish I knew what kind of paper it was, but my company provided memo pad of paper (with the logo and our names on it and stuff) is actually very very nice paper. I believe it is a4 size.

For pen, I'm not too picky really, other than the fatter the better. For some reason, the 'scratchiness' of a skinny pen turns my handwriting to garbage. A nice fat pen that liberally dumps ink and I can write oddly well. It's always made me wonder about the pen sizes, medium, fine, micro, etc, are easy to find. What about the full size? Extra large? Give me something with a ping-pong ball in the tip. ;)

Has anyone tried their hand at making wooden pens? I'd love to give it a try, but finding a wood lathe that wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg is tough.
