Nautical Theme -- Euro clips? Etc??

[FireproofInc]

Anyone have any sources for nautical theme kits/clips? Have someone searching for such a thing.

Never seen anything like that. You may have to do a glue up of something to get what you are looking for.

Woodpenpro.com has some Navy/Military clips.

For a nautical theme, I typically either turn the pen in the shape of a belaying pin http://www.penturners.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22326, or add a decorative knot (which sailors call "fancywork") http://www.penturners.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24596. Teak is always a good choice, but other woods are used in shipbuilding as well. Cherry, holly, lignum vitae, and even purpleheart are popular. I still have a piece of angelique left over from the construction of the Spirit of South Carolina that's destined to become a "nautical" pen.

Regards,
Eric

Take a red blank and a green blank and glue together. You now have Port & Starboard running lights.

How about some naval historic live oak. Check out the Live Oak Pedestals at:

Should be able to get a lot of pens and matching pen lockers from a chunk of that stuff.

Cheers!
