Storing Finished Pens

[jeffnreno]

I have been turning pens for a few years now. Just found this site - wow it is great. My question is how do you store your completed pens to protect the finish. I have about 50 pens completed that I will be giving away at Christmas. My method now is to put them each in a ziplock and then in a drawer in the shop. Is that ok or are there better ways?

Jeff, I have a number of pen binders that I keep mine in and I also use the velvet roll-ups available from CSUSA.

Depends on your finish, and how long it has cured. Ziplock is going to keep air from circulting, which may lengthen the cure time, which may mean more damage to the finish. I either use display cases or the boxes from Monty's group buy for at least several days to let everything cure.

Thanks also.
I store mine in zip lock bags.

Some use pen tubes, I use pen cases.

When I use ziplock bags I punch some holes in it with one of those one hole paper punches.
