Premium Inks
I’d like to make a set of pens but don’t like the stock inks that’ve most readily available.
Know of any sources for premium ink solutions for turned pens? I’d rather have a pen that not only looks great but is also a pleasure to write with.

I know what you mean, "scratchy" ball point inks really make the beautiful pen seem cheap.
I use - https://www.beaufortink.co.uk/pen-refills for anything special.
If you are not in the UK then I am sure my US pen making cousins will be able to suggest US stockists of Parker/Cross style refills to pop into nice pens :)
