Several weeks ago someone was looking for a pen case shaped like a coffin. Here is an example of one I have put together. Click on the photo to see others plus more info. Jim S

Exotic Blanks used to have them. Don't know if Ed still does. Nice job on the pine box.

Thank You! Actualy it's Birch, with a clear finish, red and white felt linings, and Bronze and Brass fittings. It has a MDF infill in the bottom with a grove routed down the center to hold the pen in place, then covered in white felt. No pillow! Ed gave a very interesting demo at the Wisconsin Pen Turners meeting last Sunday, had I known, I could have asked him. Jim S

Jim, I am new to pen making and I was going through the photos and saw this coffin. I really like it. I may have to try and make one. I was curious where the pen blank came from? I would like to make some of these set ups for some guys in my lodge. Very, very cool. Aaron

Aaron; The scull and black widow pen blanks came from Lazerlinez. The coffin came from Darkside Displays. All the fittings and felt came from Michel's. The wooden man came from Hobby Lobby. Jim S
