Thank you!Glad to be part of the Association.
I'm new to the world of pen turning but not to the pens , I have been collecting pens for years mostly vintage pens made by Sheaffer Parker etc...
In 2010 I met Jeff Powell at a Pen show in columbus OH it was a revelation.
I had never seen such amazing pens before.He made pens on its own , we were exhibiting right next to him and we exchanged products I gave him some of our fountain pen cases and he gave me a Music Heart pen.It was his own Blank and his own hardware I couldn't believe it.The pen is still working today and the acrylic has aged very nicely.
Most pens are made with kits ?
I'm looking for pens made by hand including the hardware(clip rings ).Those are a bit rarer than the kit pen made out there.
Me and my wife are jointly designing and manufacturing leather pen cases since 2003.
We hope to participate at wood and acrylic pen turning shows to find pens that we would like to distribute with our products.
I would to find out about some possible pen turners shows , I will take my family to it and browse around and make new friends...and perhaps slowly pick up some equipment and make pens with my two boys.
Cheers,
