I started turning pens a couple of years ago but I've never really used this forum...but I think I'm going to start.

Recently I saw a picture of a pen done in LEATHER and I'm trying to figure out who makes them. VERY INTERESTED!

Welcome, Frank. The pen in your picture isn't totally turned. They probably made a blank out of some scrap wood and turned it to a diameter smaller than what was needed for the kit. The leather, which looks like top grain or upholstery leather, was glued to the blank, trimmed and then hand-stitched with what looks to me to be waxed thread. Rather than gluing the leather with CA, I would probably use a contact cement.
