One aspect of woodworking that I really enjoy is turning pens on my lathe. I have been turning pens for a little over a year. It is very interesting to relatively square piece of wood or acrylic turn into round piece of wood or acrylic. I recently decided that I wanted to make a fountain pen for myself, so I purchased some really cool blanks from a place called
Exotic Blanks they have some really amazing links I also purchased a pen kit from
WoodCraft they are a national chain but there are usually very few around. The kit that I purchased is a
Cambridge Hybrid Fountain Pen. After an hour or so of drilling, gluing, and turning the pen blank I had what I wanted and I assembled the kit. This is the result of that effort. I am pretty happy with it and I am now hooked on writing with a fountain pen.
