Pen Kit with Eagle Clip

[kenlholley]

I am looking for any style pen kit that has an eagle clip. I've found some inlay kits with eagles, but they emphasis that skew skills are required. no sanding or the colors will bleed. I'm not very good with a skew yet, mainly use gouges and carbides. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Using a Skews for pen work is not a hard skill to learn. I learned from watching videos on you tube. If you go to Woodn Whimmies web site he has links to videos for turning inlaid blanks.

Watch the video then put a piece of scrap wood between centers and practice what you see. Promise it will not take long.

Anymore a skew is all I use for my pens. S sharp skew makes a great smoth cut.

I do inlay kits all the time and I've never used a skew. A scraper works fine.

The American Patriot from PSI had an eagle on the clip. Here is one in chrome I did with aluminum.
