What pen kit
I have to make a pen set (fountain and rollerball) as a thank you to my solicitor she is only young and as you would have read female and already a partner in her firm.
I was initially thinking something like Majestic but I thought they might be to big for a female.
So what kit can you recommend out of the high end range of kits remembering it is for a lady??
Oh if possible available in OZ but will look at alternatives, all recommendation appreciated.
I will probably use Brown Mallee that Peter (Penpal) kindly sent to me if that helps.
Thank you in advanceCheers Rum Pig

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 finishesregards

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

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.

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,
Todd

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.

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
It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.
