A friend of mine reached out to me to see if I could build his new college grad a desk pen set for his new job at the bank. He also asked if I could make something that his son could keep in his suit as a pen for meetings and other needs.
The desk set & paperclip holder are made from walnut that I had in the shop. The brass business card holder is from Rockler.
The pen and pen funnel are the expanded Father Sing set that I found at Craft Supplies. It was an interesting pen to turn and has multiple options for how to turn it with or without a clip. In this case the customer wanted it to have a clip so we set it up that way.
The pen to be carried about is a Diamond Knurl rollerball in antique brass from Exotic Blanks.
Both pens are made with red mallee. I do find you have to keep an eye out for voids or cracks to fill when turning it but I love it looks when finished. I really love how it looks against the antique brass.
