Long Wood, Longwood, whatever

[Larry in Harrow]

Just did a blank trade with Keith Long and used some of the them on Longtube/Longwood Gold Click pens. So are they Long Wood Pens or Longwood Pens? You judge.

Grape Vine on Gold Longwood Clicker kit:

Applewood on Gold Longwood Clicker kit:

Spalted Persimmon on Gold Longwood Clicker kit:

Of course all three are one-piece barrels, veneer CB's, finished with CA. If I had miss calculated and left the barrels too long then these would be "longwood, Long Wood, Longwood" pens.

What ever you want to call them, they are beautiful. I am not familiar with the hardware. You say that they are one piece barrels?

That's the Long Click hardware, Larry just makes them look like a traditional two piece pen.

great trio there Larry.

Nice. Their beautiful.

That is what I call the Long Click, as per Mike above.
"Longwood" is a PSI named pen style.
Regardless of what you call them, great looking pens, nice work.

Longwood?

Thanks everyone. Actually the hardware kit is called a "Longwood Click Pen" where I buy them.

CSUSA has them as the "Clicker Pen Kit"
LauLau has them as the "Click Ballpoint"

All the same as above.

Most around here call them the "long click" since it's a LONG single barrel.

It's been a couple years but I used to make what PSI now calls a Longwood. Back then they just called it a Long Pen but it still has the same order #. I used to make them kind of funky and also made my own boxes. I've gotten lazy since I guess. Here's an old photo of a set I made for a friend.

Just checked and I still have a bag with a couple dozen of these old kits.

Looking good Larry. That apple wood one has some real nice colour to it. First half of that box of maple you sent me has been shipped to Jim. Started on the second half today.

Very nice pens, Larry. You done those blanks well.

Larry, Those are sure nice.. the stepped centerband makes them lot more interesting than the usual longwood click pen. Whatever you did to add the veneer band is dead-on parallel to the step and the grain pattern is perfectly retained. How did you add the veneer band to the blank? I'd like to do something like that on the pens that I make. Thanks for sharing.. Larry R.
