If you can use the kits and blanks and if you have had success with this kit, you are welcome to them for the cost of shipping (should be less than $10 US).

These are not for sale because I cannot recommend the kit and I would hate to take money for something I don't support. I don't care for anything that requires sanding after finishing, and I find the twist mechanism too difficult to turn for my taste. You have to sand the inside of the upper tube *after* pressing to make sure the twist mechanism works.

Here's a link to the kit information:

Note that the tubes from these kits are in the blanks which are already squared. There are two acrylic blanks, 1 camelthorn and one very nice amboyna burl. If you want to use different blanks, you'll need to get replacement tubes (here's a link: https://www.bereahardwoods.com/pen-kit/sets/brass-tube-for-olmsted.html).

I should probably add that bereahardwoods is one of my very favorite suppliers - my only issue is with this kit.
