The first pens I decided to try was the Clarion Demonstrator Fountain Pen from Penn State Industries. These are the best (in my opinion) looking pen design at Penn State. I ended up doing 3 of them, 2 in cocobolo and 1 in Aquabright Green and Black plastic. There is not a whole lot of work done on these pens but the cap.

The next set of pens that I decided to make is almost the exact opposite. Turn the body, but not the cap. I was hoping to turn a pen that would work with the pen loop on my journal, but these ended up being to thick. These were done in horn, Cocobolo, and rosewood.

The final ones (or so I thought), was the Executive Fountain Magnetic Pen Kit. these are the most classical fountain pen kit that Penn State had. Still not happy with the quality of the components, but they look like the pens at the shows.

So, while I was digging out the pen making supplies from long ago, i came across a fountain pen kit that was missing the brass tubes needed to turn the wood and I was not sure if it was missing anything else. So I set it aside, thinking I might be able to get replacement tubes from the maker, only tp find out that these pens have been discontinued for years. I was able to find an archived file on the instructions, but that was it. So I knew I had all the parts in the kit but the barrels, I also needed the bushing set to be able to turn the pens correctly and the drill bits that matched. So the odds that this kit was not trash was very slim.
