Hello,

I have just finished a pen and pencil set that I had purchased a "long" time ago. I liked the look if the pens so much that I wish to make more, but I cannot remember/nor find a supplier. The pen kit was a slimline style, chrome plated, and the package had "CR104 Woodworker's Warehouse" printed on it. The pencil had CR105 on it.

Any suggestions?

TIA

Bill, a weekday lurker.

Hi Bill,

The only kits I've seen at the WW Warehouse here were from Jet. Try Brea (sp) Hardwoods. some of the pen turners might have a better idea.

Good Luck

For the best in Pen Making supplies and service, there is only one place you need to go..........www.bereahardwoods.com
I have only been turning Pens for a short time, but long enough to know that all Pen Components are NOT created equal. Berea manufacturers what they sell, and they are outstanding to deal with as well.

Thanks all for the links and input. I looked at the BereaHardwoods web site but did not really see what I wanted. Then I remembered that I did have their latest catalog. Looked in there and it has more chrome options. I will need to decide what I want, but I am optomistic that it is out there.
