On thing struck me as odd was your use of the term "collaboration". the piano pen and the flag pen, are for sale at Kallenshan Hardwoods, and this new pen blank you said was purchased from EAGLE. How is buying pen blanks a collaboration? Webster defines Collaboration as as "working together, especially in some literary, artistic, or scientific undertaking". This would preclude purchasing and assembling components. If that were the case, all of our pens would be collaborations with the turner, the kit manufacturer, and mother Nature for growing such lovely wood.
