15 Executive Pens

[yorkie]

I had a customer order 15 Executives in various woods (my choice of woods). I charged him $55 per pen. All are CA finish.

Left to right:
Box Elder burl, curly Alaskan Yellow Cedar, JOW, BOW, Maple burl, Birdseye Maple, Smoke Tree, Orange Osage, two-tone curly Mahogany, Australian Fish Tailed Oak, quilted Sapelle, English Pippy Yew. Foreground: Staghorn Sumac, Zebra wood, Creosote.

Also, blue dyed Buckeye burl on Manhattan in gun metal. CA finish.

That's a nice group of pens. The Executive is a favorite of mine.

And at a $55 price point, a nice tidy profit.:biggrin:

I have many of this type of pen, but I havent made one. How are they? how do they hold up to daily use, and how do they sell?
thanks for the help guys

That is a very nice sale! Congrats!!


Like all the timbers you selected. Did you already have these on-hand or did you order them for just this sale....just wondering?

They sell very well. They're simple single barrel and well made. The transmission is easily switched out if it goes bad and they're not too big or fat.

Good deal! (and payday!!)
I really like those. I love the long tube kits. Could be my next project after I run through the Polaris' and Presimos I have.

Great looking batch of pens! Nice choice of woods.

Wow! Great job! Generally these "just made 15 pens" post aren't that impressive, but every one looks fantastic! Great photos too!

Nice order and you snagged a good price, too. Being a white collar guy, these "short " pens are not pocket friendly, unfortunately. The longer, single barrel pens like the Manhattan, clicker, vertex sell better for me.

 

[hilltopper46]

The Executive isn't that short. It's longer than the Polaris (and the like). I believe it is at least as long as a standard Sierra.

Awesome pens and even better...they're ALL sold. :wink:

Compliments, this is a stunning set of pens. Particularly I love the Manhattan, it looks great

 

[yorkie]

Thanks a lot, guys!!

I guess it is similar size to polaris etc., but i like how easy the transmission is to remove, without having to dismantle the pen. It feels solid and is just about the right size. I make tons of different styles and i really like this one.

Love 'em all, especially the blue BEB.

Great work and congrats on the order!
