What is your favorite pen to make?

There is no way to have every pen type listed, so I listed what I thought would have the largest following. If your favorite is not listed please reply with your favorite.


Edit: Changed choice Cigar to Baron.

I agree with Dario...but my bread and butter seems to be the cigar pen. I like making these because it larger surfaces really show off a nice piece of wood!
 
Very interesting poll, but I couldn't choose a single style. I think my favourite is always the last one I made if it came out good.
Like most people, I started with the humble Slimline. I still think you are able to be the most creative with the Slimline without detracting from the kit itself.
I hope you get tons of answers to this as it makes interesting reading[:)]

Jim,

I really LIKE the Jr. Gent ballpoint for my personal pen. Is just as comfortable as my stand-by Cigar. BUT, the 10kt gold is wearing off in less than 6 months, and it only gets used a couple times a week, when it is the lucky candidate that makes the switch from one shirt pocket to the shirt I will wear.
 
I have to say of all the pens I love the slimline. It allows you to be creative, try loads of ideas, it does not cost a lot and should still look good.

For a fountain pen I love the Baron.
 
Didn't vote. I haven't done anything on the list other than slimlines and I sell alot of those along with cigars which I like. So far, I like doing the Polaris the best. I think it is one of the best pens for showing off a blank.
 
The one I just sold for the most money least cost in materials/kits.
Any pen I can modify so it doesn't look like the mfgr intended it to.
 
I think the Baron is the prettiest of the pens listed, and I voted for it. I find the easiest is and the one I enjoy making is the Sierra. JMHO
 
Since there is a definite distinction between "fun to make" and "sells the best" I would have voted for either cigar or Jr. Gent to *make* but slimline seems to sell the most.

I make most of thes pens even though I like all of them the slimline give the most flexability with it's simple design. I just wish it came in a parker style. But for sales I would say seria or clasic screw top.
 
I'm really starting to like the Americana Rollerball from CSUSA. Fun to turn, easy tendon, no transmition to mess with. It has taken over my favorite pen spot from the Euro style.
 
Not voting in this poll. reason? I have only done slimlines so I don't know what my favorite pen is. I have Jr Gent II's, Artist's sketch pencils, and European kits here, and have Barons and Americanas coming. Haven't had a chance to turn any of them because of the holidays and work commitments. Once I get the chance, I may be able to make a decision and vote. Until then, well...

I have done several other kits but the slimline remains my favorite. With the exception of customer orders, I don't use the center band, I turn it as one big pen (not quite as big as the cigars).
