1000.
Pens that I can see in the box look great. Are they all the same pen kit?
I'm waiting for someone to come out with an acrylic pen blank with a purple heart ribbon in it. I have a few soldiers here locally where I live that need a purple heart pen. And I don't mean purple heart wood, I mean the purple heart medal and ribbon for being injured in action. Anyone here know of a place that would happen to sell these blanks? I see beartoothwoods has a few like the Iraqi Campaign ribbon, and a few others.

My questions have been answered thanks to Ernie at Beartooth woods. A purple heart acrylic pen blank is in the works and will be available within the next couple months. I have a soldier that was in my company in Iraq who was severely injured in an IED blast. He lost both legs, and a couple fingers, one of these pens will be going to him. Our unit's recruiter was also injured in another IED blast and one of those pens will be made and go to him. My team leader was injured as well so one will be made for him too. I've got a list of people who these pens will be made for and given to. Just a little way of giving back.
Wow, 225 pens in that flat-rate box, excellent job everyone.

Both Wood-n-Whimsies and Kallenshaan Woods make laser inlay Purple Heart blanks.
Outstanding job.

Hmm, good to know I'll start with those sites and get some parts here as soon as I can. I have to get some different sanding pads, and finish to do acrylic though first LOL. The ones I found are inlay kits. How hard is it to do that inlay stuff? Looks pretty difficult to me from what I've seen all the precise cuts you have to make.

Ok, this has me interested, where can I go to get information about the pens for troops? I'm on a very limited income, but would like to help out as much as I can. Even if that means making up some pens and mailing to an IAP member to get out to the right people.
