My Latest Olivewood Pens

[Rolandranch]

Here are some recent pens I've made out of Bethlehem olivewood. I used a CA Finish for them all and a matte CA for the last one. I really like the magnetic caps on the Vertex pens. I have all these listed on Etsy but am looking for another place to sell online. I'd appreciate some direction to where I could sell online (besides Etsy).



Let me know what you think of them.

I just want to caution you about making any attempt at selling a single item through multiple venues ....

If you are promising to sell the item pictured and have the same item listed through different sites, and they BOTH sell, you're going to be in big trouble. Most item sites will BAN you for failing to honor the sale agreement, and some will go so far as to ban you simply for having the same item offered through any other venue, even if it didn't sell, and will check up on you through various mediums.


On the other hand, if you are offering multiples and are merely posting a picture of a representative sample, and keep track of how many you are selling through x site and how many through y site, and keep them separate, there might be some future with that method... but make absolutely certain you are following the rules for each site.

Great set of pens! That looks like a fun wood to work with.

Bethlehem olivewood is probably my favorite wood to turn. Those look great!

Great looking pens.

When you find the olive wood with very strong contrasting grain colors as you have here, you are doing well! Those are nice pens!

Well done! BOW is a great wood to work with and makes fantastic pens.

All Beauties. I recently sold a Nautical in Antique Copper on BOW. I like the look of the Nautical hardware against the BOW. I love BOW.

Very nice! Just blew up my first BOW blank on the lathe (dammit!). Got one of those assortments of cut-offs from PSI (which, I think, is a pretty good deal--some nicely figured wood, three pretty much full-length blanks and enough for six to eight Sierras plus a bunch of shorter ones that will be used for other projects). It did smell really good while turning, and I knew I should have used the epoxy instead of CA, but being in a hurry....

Regards,

Thanks all for the compliments! BOW is one of my favorites.
