Keep up the good work, Deb. Those look great!
Bob, right now the Bowling Ball pen blanks are exclusively available via our website or via email, here in the US. So, you would have to brave the Customs people. However, we are looking for distributors, so if you have anyone in the UK who might be interested, get with me offline.
Anyway, about the blanks and your questions:
They are 4.99 each, or a 10-pack (one of each color) for 39.99, and that price is good until midnight June 30. After that, our introductory pricing ends, and they will be regular price (5.99 each and 44.99 for the 10-pack)
As you can see from Ed's pictures, you can get a pen and a half out of one blank, or a pen and a bottle stopper or even a matching key chain, all from one blank. So, basically, every 2 blanks may get you 3 pens, depending on the kit you are making. That makes the blanks average out to just 3.33 each, which is a terrific bargain.
Also, these are the 1" version, so you can turn any kit available. We will be introducing a 3/4" version soon for those making smaller pens like the Slims.
This was probably more answer than you needed...sorry. I tend to get a little excited when I talk about our BB blanks!
