Hello everyone.
I've been selling lower end pens ($25 - $35) until recently. I made a Cambridge fountain pen with African Blackwood. I sold it for $65, but that was to a coworker of my wife's so I cut him a bid of a deal. It was a bit of a pain however because I had to make a couple of custom inserts so I could trim the ends of the barrel. I'd like to get into making more high end pens (I like the markup on these pens better Anyway I've had a bit of a problem finding a source for the better pen kits. I found this source on another thread http://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/store/Pen_Making___Ballpoint_Pen_Kits_p_1?Args=. Does anyone have any suggestions for sources, bearing in mind they must be willing to ship to Canada. And for that matter does anyone have any general suggestions on making and selling higher end pens?
