I got into penturning long after I began woodturning, so I didn't go through that phase that a lot of people go through where they buy the less expensive components to practice with until they get into the swing of things. Up until this point all I've ever bought are kits with fittings plated with black & gold titanium, platnium, rhodium, and combinations of those platings. For me it's a matter of making pens with parts that will last a long time without showing signs of wear with normal use.
Now that I'm getting more serious about the aspect of selling pens I've been thinking about making some pens with components that are a little less expensive just to have some offerings at a lower price point. As I'm building up inventory for Christmas sales this is weighing heavily on my mind and I would like some feedback from some of you that have been on the pen making scene for a while.
