pen suppliers, who's out there?

[redfishsc]

I'm looking around at the various pen kit suppliers. So far I'm familiar with Berea, Craft Supplies, and Penn State's offerings.

Where can I find other pen kit varieties?

That's about it: everyone sells kits by the mfgs you mentioned. Some suppliers have exclusive rights to certain kits such as the baron is only sold by http://www.arizonasilhouette.com and some of Berea's copper kits are only sold by http://www.beartoothwoods.com, (I think). But, selections are a lot better than they were a few years ago. Our selection has grown considerably. Another source of a few different kits is Craft Supplies UK, and their kits are sold by http://www.woodchuckers.com in Canada. Your next option is to make your own parts. Good luck.
Do a good turn daily!

Stick with Craft Supply.

ArizonaS has given great service, I don't think anyone who has used them would disagree. And BearTooth also - The copper kits are fine and something different to behold.

I've been most impressed with Craft Supplies, though I gotta admit Berea's El Grande is quite a pen. I like how Craft Supplies gives you the finished dimensions of the pen and the minumum blank requirements. I have a lot of spalted maple and live oak burl "shorties" that are perfect for various pens like the Patriot.

Don't leave out www.Woodturningz.com they sell mostly PSI and Berea. Also Packard Woodworks, mostly PSI. WoodCraft and Rockler mostly repackage Berea kits.
