Rockler Round Top Pen - Who makes it?

[John Eberly]

And are there other plating options? Rockler only catalogs a generic "gold" plating.

I really like this pen - it has a more solid feel than a "normal" euro. Except for the somewhat goofy bushing (which I guess is used to avoid cutting a tenon) it's a great one to make.

Any word on the source and maybe upgraded plating versions?

I am not familiar with the actual pen, but the name sounds like a Berea product. Check their "round top european".

Ti gold version of round-top european

The pen seems to be the round top that uses the parker refill instead of the 7mm version. The bottom of the pen top is parted off to the tube instead of using a tenon. It is a berea kit and comes in better platings than what Rockler offers. Purchase directly from berea at http://www.bereahardwoods.com, from Ernie at http://www.beartoothwoods.com, or Bill at http://www.arizonasilhouette.com
