Shivamogga: With the intention of bringing back the memories of the fountain pen era, Krishnamurthy Achar, a carpenter from Avinahalli village has crafted a 19.5 ft long wooden pen.

I have always been interested in fountain ink pens, now these classic pens are disappeared. In the memory of that era, I have crafted this pen."At a time when the fountain pens are going obsolete, this flamboyant creation gives a glimpse of the antiquated times when the fountain pens were in trend.
