Paul LockwoodThis is an ongoing series reviewing Pen Kits and other Kits that are available in the UK. If you are new to turning pens there will be a lot of things that may help you along the way. Even if you are a seasoned pen turner you may find some things in here that you had not thought about.
In this part I look at the Artisan Clicker Pen from PenKitz And Bitz. Available only in a Gold finish. This is a I piece click pen with a very long tube compared to most other pens. Allowing you to show off the turning material more than being about the pen.

I've seen the Tiny Turner and Rebecca DeGroot do this in the past and finally had a go at it. Using my normal wood source (wood sold as firewood) I use a piece of Beech to create a bowl and a textured area around the outside using the Dremel. To highlight this I've created a couple of burnt border and then colour the texture first with my water based colours I normally spray with.

Applying CA to sort this put I decided to scorch some of the piece. The heat opened the cracks again, so I decided to make a feature of it using the Dremmel.
