I wanted to share this for selfish reasons, I am desperately trying to locate some more of this wonderful ink as described below:

properly aged bistre ink...between three and five years old. I think that we'll bottle some and offer it for sale. I've seen nothing like it. It's made over a period of four or five days, boiling a mix of beechwood soot and oak galls and replenishing the water over that period. The picture shows the oak galls and powdered soot.

I was given a generous amount of this by the generous people at Studio Products, but it is about done and am having a real search problem.
This ink has such a finish and wonderful feel as applied.
9 x 6, on watercolor paper.
