Every now and them my wife is asked to bring in my pens as they are wanting to buy one for a family occasion. Today she took them in and sold me Five .. Four Slimlines and one Barron, the slimlines that were sold were three segmented ones and one of my own resin mixes, the Baron was a fountain pen made with Burr Elm .. :ciggrin:

I sell more Slimline pens than any other .. And by a country mile ... :nooidea:

Very nice Jim and I am very pleased for you.
Its good to have a money making hobby and to know that your efforts are appreciated even if its only enough money to buy goods and equipment to keep the hobby going.
I don't sell mine personally but give them to be sold in clubs pubs naffi etc.
I don't have a total but have certainly raised some surprising amounts for Help for Heroes, that is my passion for pen turning.
The bullet pens sold well in Cyprus and the officers mess raised a stunning £230 for a Roman Harvest in Burr oak which I never got a picture of as it was taken as I finished it.
That gave me a very warm glow to think my work was that good I hope you feel the same when you hear of another sale. It is very satisfying.
Keep up the good work and thanks for your work here in these forums too they really are a credit to you.

Nice one Jim.

Up here it seems to be Sierra's that sell the most.


Which is handy.. as they are probably the easiest to make, and use less materials.. :ciggrin:

I sell a lot of sierras, but they tend to had Stylii on them...
