Possible Source for Pen Making Supplies

[TonyL]

I stumbled across this site while looking for "I don't remember what" and they had some materials and supplies that can be used for penturners. I have never ordered from them:

Stewart-MacDonald: Everything for building and repairing stringed instruments! | stewmac.com

Whip Tips | stewmac.com

StewMac Super Glue Caddy | stewmac.com

I've ordered from them once--they have black and amber colored CA that I bought for tobacco pipe stem restoration. Had no problem with the order.

Lots of enticing little goodies there! I remember looking a long time ago, it's best I stay away from such places... lol

Was looking at their StewMac Super Glue, and they have a good discount for 3 or more, over a dollar off.

I've not tried their CA on pens, but the colored stuff works great on pipe stems. Often times an "estate" pipe will have tooth marks on the stem, which leave pits after sanding down. The black or amber CA fills them in nicely and after re-sanding and polishing makes a hardly noticeable repair.

Great company - I've done some instrument making, and they are THE go-to place for things unavailable elsewhere. And they invent/produce a remarkable array of tools.
