A new design here at Barkwhistle Wood Shop is this Celtic Twist Pen, shown here in both antique brass and antique pewter finish. A green stone in the cap matches the “midnight forest” acrylic body.

An emerging favourite is the Stratus Click Pen. These two are in the gunmetal finish, colours are called “sunset swirl” and “creamsicle”.

Continuing with the gunmetal Stratus, here are four “bespoke” pens, as in, they’re already bespoken for. Acrylic colours are called Salt and Pepper, Cosmic Green, Caribbean Sea, and Bumble Bee.

And because I still like turning wood sometimes here in the wood shop, here are a Streamline Twist Pen and two Slimline Twist Pens, in gold finish. The woods are (top to bottom) Bloodwood, Bubinga, and Sapele.

Here are some recent pens I’ve made, which keeps me out of trouble, and fills the empty hours between larger projects.

Acrylic “Midnight Forest” Slimline Twist Ballpoint

Here are two new “Streamline”-style twist pens, in acrylic, with “gunmetal” plating.

That’s the last of the Streamlines for a while, I think. Although I’m never sure what’s lurking in my pen-making drawer…

Here are two new pens in the “Slimline” style, the potentially slimmest pens I make. One of these lives up to the name; for the other I left a little more meat on his bones. These are in gold plating, and made from zebrawood.

And also here’s a “Streamline”-style pen, which are generally a bit thicker around the waistband than the Slimlines. Also gold plating, but made with Bethlehem olivewood, which looks pretty similar.

Here are two new ballpoints in the “Streamline” style, gold plating. The cutesy name of the acryclic colour is “Bumble Bee”. Everyone’s buzzing about them. I don’t want to say these bumble bee pens are endangered, but there are only two that I know of in the wild.

Something a little different: Diva Pens! To express your inner (or outer) diva! They are plated in rhodium (a kind of platinum) with a purple crystal and a blue crystal, respectively. The acrylic bodies are called “Caribbean Sea” and “Purple Pebble” respectively.

Here are two new rollerball pens I just finished. Switching over to acrylics, at least for the moment, these are called “Gray Marble” and “Purple Passion”. The style is “Sedona” in a chrome plating.

Here’s a new “Virage”-type rollerball pen, chrome plating, wood is ebony.

I love the black shavings. I made a quick little jig to use a block plane to quickly take off the corners just before mounting the blanks on the lathe. (Saves a little potential drama at the beginning). Hence the little shavings.

PS This pen sold almost immediately. Guess I should make some more!
