Roberson's historic inks - I buy one every visit. The Logwood black is excellent. Scriptorium oak gall is also very good, a bit lighter, but does go darker with age.
Since I complained about my supply, the excellent merlyn_gabriel has promised me goose quills next week! so I may be more profligate in future :-) And mine are sand-dried, though I might try the microwave method in future.
