The sleek, smooth and refined lines of this pen, and the distinct feel in your hand, are sure to make it winner. Utilizing the same single tube construction as the original Wall Street Pen, this new generation features the easiest assembly of any pen kit we offer.
- Nib/nib holder, center ring and the top finial/clip are both pre-assembled
- Simply turn the body, press in the top finial/clip assembly, screw the ink refill mechanism on the nib assembly, push the two halves together and the pen is finished
- Available in either standard 24K gold or long wearing Woodcraft 24K gold/titanium finish
- Requires a pen mandrel, 5/8″ x 5/8″ x 3-1/8″ blank, 27/64″ drill bit and bushing set
This unique pencil kit is equally at home in the shop or an artist’s sketch kit. The single tube kit is extremely easy to turn and produces an attractive, different, and very functional pencil. The extra thick (5.66mm, about 7/32″ D x 3-1/8″L) HB round lead resists breaking and is held firmly in place by a four jaw collet at the bottom of the pencil mechanism. Just push on the spring loaded top of the pencil and the collet opens so you can advance or retract the lead to the desired length.
- The top, when unscrewed from the pencil, features an internal sharpener to renew the point.
- When combined with the 4B soft lead, any artist would love to add this pencil to their sketch kit.
- Requires a 5/8″ x 5/8″ x 3-1/2″ blank, pen mandrel, 15/32″ bit and artist’s pencil bushings that are listed below and on left under You Might Also Like.

Click Ballpoint Pen and Pencil Kit
The time tested push-button ballpoint pen is probably in more pockets than any other style pen. Now you can turn your own beautiful wooden ballpoint pens and matching pencils to replace those ugly plastic ones. Easily turned with straight sides, or can be profiled to create custom looks. Standard Gold finish. Both kits require a 5/8″ x 5/8″ x 4″ blank, Letter “O” pen maker’s bit, mandrel, and Click Pen Bushings.
Classic American Style Screw Cap Fountain and Rollerball Pens
At last, classic American style pens with a cap that screws on and off! No more fussing with the delicate adjustments necessary for the perfect fit on “snap” style fountain and rollerball pen kits. These kits use threaded, press fit components, so your cap “screws on” to protect the pen mechanism when not in use. With the exception of the screw cap, these pens are identical to our regular classic American style pens. Now these classically styled pens can be made even more eye-catching with the addition of spider web filigrees.
- Naturally beautiful spider web pattern compliments the lines of the classic American style screw cap pens and makes them even more distinctive
- Requires a 5/8″ x 5/8″ x 5″ blank, pen mandrel, 3/8″ pen maker’s or brad point bit and American Fountain/Rollerball bushings
Vedder Mountain Hardwoods New Site
After trying out several different website platforms, Mike and I decided on the WordPress powered E-Commerce platform. We’ll still be operating our Vedder Mountain Hardwoods eBay Store, but on a much smaller scale. Our new site will have product pages and a shopping cart as well as informative articles, videos and general woodworking information. If there’s something you’re looking for that is not listed in our product pages, please contact us directly and we’ll do our best to help you find it.
Thanks for your patience while we set the new site up. If you have any comments or suggestions to help us improve our site, we not only welcome them… we encourage them.
