Thread: what's new in Pens?

Scott,

There are a few nice kits on the market. The Baron and JR Gent are essentially similar to each other, the Baron being a bit cheaper than the JR Gent.

GPW have a couple of cheaper fountain pen and roller ball kits, your RL pens and I think it is called the Executive pen, both a narrower than others around. Carrolls also carry the RL pens and Executive pens as well.

Carb-a-tec carry the Statesman and the Emperor range of pens they are quiet expensive, but high end for pens.

Brett at addictive pens carries the Sedona which is a very classy pen, also there is the Churchill and El Grande range. Then there is the Cambridge.

The Sedona in Stirling Silver has a nice etching on the bands and has a posting cap like the Baron. Both the Churchill and the El Grande have plain bands with a thin black band to divide the gold, chrome or plating of choice. for large pens they are light.

The Cambridge is of similar design in shape as the El Grande but that is where it ends. The Cambridge has a floral design on the bands as well as a design in the end of cap and base, the fittings are of metal and gives a good weight to the pen and nice balance to it.

Before you go have a look at each of the above mentioned web sites to see what is about.

I hope you enjoy the Sydney Timber and Working With Wood Show

Try the Stretch pen from LauLau woodworks or the Zen version from CSUSA. The stretch is a screw on cap/ post and the Zen is a magnetized version. They both have longer bodies.
Penn State has some newer versions of some other styles, mostly Berea models.
