Crow Quill

A crow quill is a specialized pen nib used for detailed writing or drawing. Made from a sharpened metal quill, traditionally from a goose or crow feather, it is designed to produce fine, precise lines, often with varying width depending on pressure and angle. Crow quills were popular in the 18th and 19th centuries for calligraphy, illustration, and decorative writing. Today, they are valued by artists and calligraphers for their ability to create expressive, intricate strokes, offering a traditional tool that allows for a high degree of control and detail in artistic work.
