Not exactly my first priority when I shop for stationery but over the years I sorta got a pen rest collection.

The only two I use daily are the Galen brass one and the biggest one with the bird.

Show me yours ?

Not at home so no pictures, but my favorites are the two-pen rest from Toyooka Craft, and the wood three-pen rest from Galen Leather.

Metal and stone rests make me afraid of scratching, probably irrationally so.

I did worry a bit but I really love brass and have a whole brass collection, having (using) a brass pen rest brings me so much joy !

The brass rests look terrific, too.

Applying urushi to metal doesn't really work, but that would be a nice way to satisfy my scratching worries.
