New Pen Kits from Berea - **PICS**

[Ken Salisbury]

I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Berea Harwoods' new catalog since Jim at Berea told me they had a bunch of new kits.

Got the new catalog yesterday and ordered 15 each of 3 new styles of which there are many others in the catalog. I scanned pics and prices, etc from the catalog of the 3 I ordered. I will post some pics and reviews of these kits in the near future.

I believe Berea is now charging $3.00 for their catalog and you can order one by visiting their web site (http://bereahardwoods.com). p.s. web site is not updated yet with the new stuff.

Ken, thanks for taking the time to post the pics of the new offerings from Berea. I like all of the new designs..........especially the colored pens. I'll bet the colored Pens will be some hot sellers.......especially when turned with either color coordinated wood, or a contrasting wood. Looks like I will have to get the latest catalog and check these out. They look good............and more options in Pen Styles mean more potential sales...........which means more play money! (A Win-Win situation any way you look at it!) :D

Yeah, what Kevin said :D

I like the streamlined slimline...I can't wait to hear the review on that one...it just looks like it will feel nice in the hand.

Hi Ken,

I just got my catalog in the mail too. I have to say they did a top notch job with the new catalog and the new supplies and kits are great!

Thanks for taking the time to scan them in for the site.

I have been drooling over my new Berea catalog today too! They have really outdone themselves!

This is a catalog worth having! There are new styles and new platings. There is even a kit made of solid sterling silver. The rose gold plating looks like something that will be awesome. The centerbands for the El Grande are a nice touch, but they have re-worked the screw alignment so there is very little danger of crossthreading the cap now. Jim at Berea has been busy, and I think I'm going to go broke ordering stuff from him!

Thanks for showing these pages, Ken!

Scott,

Are you getting any of your pen blanks from Arizon Silhouette? Bill is a really fine "feller" and I really love the "eye-candy" pen blanks he sells. I just ordered several blansk of boxelder burl in various colors...really pretty stuff...

Hi Dennis,

Bill and I are old friends! If you'll go look at his site, Arizonasilhouette.com, he has me as the "Featured Artist" this month. I love to call him up and have him send me a box of what's new and beautiful. Here's a picture of a pen I made out of some Macadamia wood he got in recently. Take care!
