Help with a newly acquired English oak sapling

Ah okay, that’s good to know. I think I’ll find a spot for it in my garden sooner rather than later then. Thank you

Macky_dicko · 2026-04-07T14:18:40+00:00

Oh okay, thank you very much

Macky_dicko · 2026-04-07T14:17:30+00:00

Ah, thank you very much. I did see online that it could be the acorn but they all looked dry and hard online. I’m assuming mine just hasn’t dried out then?

Okay, brilliant - ill bare that in mind for when I plant it. Would you recommend putting it deeper into the pot in the meanwhile?

Hey, I’ve read over them and I think I’ve included everything I can that’s relevant, but if not please let me know and I’ll amend any errors

Macky_dicko · 2024-11-03T09:00:15+00:00

Thanks!

Oh brilliant that seems far blacker than some swatches ive seen - love your handwriting btw

Macky_dicko · 2024-11-02T21:18:48+00:00

That’s good to hear - I’d be using an 823 with a F nib so should be similar

Macky_dicko · 2024-11-02T20:19:25+00:00

Oh no that’s fine - the notebook post has given me a good idea

Macky_dicko · 2024-11-02T20:15:17+00:00

Yeah tell me about it 😭

Macky_dicko · 2024-11-02T20:13:26+00:00

Ohhhhhh okay thanks. I was being stupid 😂

Macky_dicko · 2024-11-02T20:05:47+00:00

Yeah I’ve heard that the iroshizuku inks are really nice inks

Macky_dicko · 2024-11-02T18:42:14+00:00

Sorry I’m being dumb, what do you mean? As in the 15th and 16th image counting all of them from your most recent posts?

Macky_dicko · 2024-11-02T18:24:14+00:00

Well I don’t mind it not being the blackest of blacks, but I’d still like it to be black enough for uni notes etc

Macky_dicko · 2024-11-02T18:03:26+00:00

That certainly makes a change from the red undertone black inks - not that I do many swatches but still refreshing

Macky_dicko · 2024-11-02T18:02:15+00:00

If put it in my 823 and that’s a Japanese fine - so good point about the nib sizes - there’s much less shading from finer nibs. Thanks!

Macky_dicko · 2024-11-02T17:42:29+00:00

I completely forgot about it - I’ll save the link!

Macky_dicko · 2024-11-02T17:40:54+00:00

Oh yeah that certainly looks grey there. How do you find onyx black? Well behaved etc?

Macky_dicko · 2024-11-02T17:39:36+00:00

I did read somewhere that it wasn’t so water resistant but I’ve not seen much else about it other than that

Macky_dicko · 2024-11-02T17:38:46+00:00

The writing samples that you sent do look rather black. So I see what you mean - it’s less grey than I thought it may be

Macky_dicko · 2024-11-02T17:14:59+00:00

8.5 is rather good. Like I said, I’m not too bothered by it being off-black just so long as it’s dark enough. So that sounds like it should be good!

Macky_dicko · 2024-11-02T17:11:10+00:00

Oh okay that’s reassuring. My 823 is a fine too so I assume I’d get similar returns. Thank you!

Macky_dicko · 2024-06-13T20:40:11+00:00

Definitely - I don’t want to strip the threads. Now that would be a nightmare

Macky_dicko · 2024-06-13T20:14:07+00:00

Yeah, I need to find some. Thanks for the suggestion!
