A good buddy of mine is graduating law school this year and I want to make him a really nice set of pens (hes expressed interest since I started turning a few weeks ago).
I'm planning to make him a set of pens, 1x roller ball, and 1x fountain. I plan to use two complimentary but contrasting blanks to identify each one, so they can be the same kit but don't have to be as long as they match enough to make a good set. So here's what I am looking for as far as suggestions:
-Silver/Chrome/Gunmetal/Titanium colors (No gold/brass)
-Kits that write well, he prolly wont use them if they require a lot of maintenance/tuning (price doesn't really matter, we've been close friends for more than a decade)
-Postable caps
-Good solid body, not looking for slimline (though I don't think that's an option in fountain anyway)
I'm fairly new to turning so Im all ears. I have ordered some vertex rollerballs and I'm not in love with the hexagonal design. If anyone knows of kits they are just in love with that fit these criteria I would really appreciate it vs. ordering a bunch and trying to stumble through figuring out which ones I want to use. Thanks!
