WOODRIVER Hourglass Twist Ballpoint Pen Kit - Flat Chrome Pen Making Supplies

Woodworkers and pen makers, this WOODRIVER hourglass pen kit is absolutely beautiful for creating custom writing instruments. The flat chrome finish has this elegant, professional look that feels substantial in your hand. The hourglass design is timed for one minute, which adds a unique, functional element to the pen beyond just writing. The twist mechanism operates ultra-smoothly - no sticking or hesitation when extending or retracting the refill. The nib and cap are beautifully designed with attention to detail that you'd expect from higher-end pens. Now, this is a kit only, which means you'll need to supply your own blank (wood or acrylic), plus the appropriate bit, mandrel, and bushings to complete the project. Woodcraft has been in the woodworking business since 1928, so you know their WoodRiver line is quality. The components feel premium - the plating is even and durable, the mechanisms work precisely, and everything fits together perfectly when assembled. Whether you're making pens as gifts, for sale, or just for the satisfaction of creating something functional and beautiful, this kit delivers professional results. The finished pen has that weight and balance that makes writing feel special, and recipients are always impressed when they learn you made it yourself. If you enjoy woodturning or want to get into pen making, this hourglass design offers a classic yet distinctive look that stands out from basic pen kits.
