Thread: What pen kit

I've made the silver sedonas for the girls here at work (wedding pens)
They seem to like them and like using them.
Brett at Addictive has both the sedonas and barons (very similar pens) in both rollerball and fountain and in a number of finishes

Check out the "cambridge" kits ,quite ornate ,but not over sized

Thanks for that they are a nice looking kit
But I was thinking a little higher end this lady charges $2000 just to talk to her.
If I cant find one higher then that will be a strong possibility.
Thank you

While I was checking out the Sedonas I seen the Cambridge hybrid kit but it is only in a fountain pen can you convert it to a rollerball with parts from another kit?

Hehe! have a look at these then at GPW should be something there to interest , cheers ~ John

I have had a look there and yes that is the sort of thing I'm after but they do not say how big there Jr range are, are they still big like their full blown brothers? are to big for a lady to use comfortably?

yep some nice looking pens - I'm going to have to go upmarket

you might have to ask GPW for the bush sizes to work out the finished thickness of those pens

I made both the Junior Statesman and Junior Marshall from GPW for Christmas presents - both size wise are suitable for a ladies hand and finish as a lovely pen.

Cheers I might go with one of these kits witch do you think was the better?

The Junior Statesman certainly looked the more elegant pen with the gold on the centreband and top of the cap - this was dressed in black palm.

The Junior marshall was for a person that doesn't like yellow gold - timber red coolabah burl.

I should have taken photos before I gave them away.

Cheers,

That's the problem, most of the high end kits are large. When my ladies at work want pens, they steer clear of any big stuff and all look at slimlines & their like, but want them in rollerballs.

You could look at the Dayacom pen from Timberbits in Rhodium, although it's mid range, not high end. I'm not sure how thick it is. I have a Jr Statesman from GPW kit that I bought for myself, but have yet to make it up. The cap looks a little larger than the Sedona, which many of the ladies at work say is too big for them. I wonder how big the Apollo Infinity from 043Turnng is? Also checkout his Broadwell Nouveau for one not seen a lot here. Once again, I don;t know how big either of these are.

Remember you can always go for a "cheaper" kit in a rhodium or titanium gold finish, then present it with a special blank and presentation case to "up" the class.

I like the look of the Broadwell might give Mark a buzz and see what size they are thanks for the suggestions

Jr Victors from Timberbits could also be an option. I have sold a few to females who like the size and the quality of fittings is very nice too

They are a nice kit but I keep them as part of my stock pens so I was looking for something different but they are possible contender if the others turn out to big.
