I'm plannning on making a couple pens for some artists that have helped me out with some work and I'd like them to be really nice. I was hoping I could get some ideas of what you all think are the nicest, fanciest, elegant pen kits with the biggest wow factor. I'm willing to spend some money but let's keep it reasonable. No solid gold kits with diamond nibs. Maybe around $40 or $50 each at most. Doesn't *need* to be expensive, just needs to look nice. And yes, I know, the blank and turning quality will have a lot to do with it.
Since they are artists, some pencil kits would also be interesting. I'm may do a pen and a pencil for each.
Thanks for the help!
