Pen Kit suggestions

[LarryJB]

I want to make a Christmas present for my grandson who is in his first year at the Naval Academy. I was want to make a pen that is specific to the Navy.
All I have been able to locate is the American Patriot pen at Penn State. This is a nice pen, but I was wanting to do something that had a Navy logo on it somewhere. Any suggestions?

Try Wood Pen Pro. He has pen clips for the different branches of the military.
He also has specific fields in some of the services, too. Check out the custom clips.

You could ask Tracey at Wood N Whimsies. . She makes a lot of military blanks.

In addition, you might take a look at the Nautical pen kit at PSI.

Perhaps combining this kit with an appropriate blanks would give you a "knock out" result.

From personal experience... Do NOT do any kit that even slightly resembles a bullet. They will not allow him to use it. I have had customers wanting to return Bolt action and .30 cal pens cause their son was told they could not have it at the Academy.

This is really good info. I do know they are very restrictive about the personal items they have. Even though I was not planning on making a bullet pen I had not thought about it being a problem.
