Pat, yours pens are terrific, I especially liked the cigar pen..... I usually just lurk in the background in this group but I must tell you all how much I...
Beautiful pens, Pat! My favorites are the briar root pens. Very nice finishing job. I haven't been able to get my hands on any briar root. I like the new black...
It looks great, Rich! You'd never guess the top and bottom didn't come off the same piece. I'm looking forward to those kits arriving! Jim Lambert Woodpens.com...
Brad, I am guessing you are using bushings designed for Berea's B mandrel on a 7mm mandrel. Jim Lambert Woodpens.com 1613 Enon Rd Webb, Alabama 36376-5832 ...
Pat, Gorgeous pens. what a crafts-lady! How does the briar root turn? I have wanted to try some of it. I wonder if it could be stabilized, or if it really...
Hi Karen, You have certainly come to the right place to expand your pen turning horizons. :) We've got a great group of people with a wide range of talents....
Hi Karen - after seeing some of the pens that are created around here - I really learned that the slimlines give you the most freedom and you could spend years...

Good! I'm glad the answer wasn't too difficult. Berea's larger "B" mandrel should solve the problem. It is used for most of their kits with tubes larger than...
As far as I know the Americana or Parker style pens are all the same... you can use another company's bushings to make your pens. Berea and HUT have '8mm'...
My major complaint with some pen kits is the cheesy look of the center bands. Take the Berea Perfect Fit style, for example. It's one of the nicest looking...
