Good evening folks
I am still new venturing down this pen path. So far, 5-6 pens have come off the lathe and I have tried my hand at some castings. To date I have turned slim lines and euros from woodcraft. Of the two, the euro is my preference - tenon and all. The weight and feel is much sturdier on the euro.
As I read many many posts and see links that others have posted the choices of pen kits can be overwhelming. In addition to the many styles there are numerous suppliers that appear to be selling the same pens with a wide price differential.
I have found:
Woodcraft
PSI
Berea
Timberbits
Wood whimsies
To name just a few. Is the main difference personal preference and price point? How do you choose your supplier and which kits to make.
Sorry for the ramble - still trying to get grounded in the options.
Many thanks for your input.
