David on His Nouveau Sceptre Pen Kit Design:
"I have always loved Art Nouveau with its intensely organic lines and have incorporated it into my work for many years. One of my more popular and personal favorite pen designs is my Sceptre. When asked to design the components for Penn State Industries newest kit my first thought was to use elements from my Sceptres - the wide cap top and the rounded barrel - with some new freeform Nouveau elements for the trim. I find it interesting and relaxing to watch trees being blown by a gentle breeze, and I wanted the ribbon on the cap band to look as if it were being blown about by the wind."

  • All exposed accent rings, bands and caps include elegant custom casted 3 dimensional Art Nouveau designs. 
  • Components are cast, polished and plated with a durable 2 micron 22kt gold plate and Rhodium.

I purchased one of these and it sat in my shop for 3 months until I got up the "courage" to turn it. I wish I hadn't waited because during it was a snap and it is very easy to assemble. I used the white marble Tru-stone pictured online and in the catalog and with the one-step plastic polish the results were phenomenal! I'll definitely order more of these and am taking this one to a craft show to gauge the response.

I just finished two of these kits, one roller ball and one fountain pen kit which I plan to give as Holiday gifts. I turned the bodies with tru-stone. First of all, the pen kits appear to be top notch. Only time will really tell how durable the finish is. The detail of the pen is nice. This is a fairly large pen. It may not be right for everyone, but I like it. The setup was easy. I only have two minor complaints. First, the 10.5 mm bit which came with my kit was slightly out of round which created a slightly oval hole. Very slight and did not affect the final product. I used 2 part epoxy to glue up the blanks. It works well as gap filler. The tru-stone was easy to turn with a sharp gouge and skew. I sanded and polished with Penn States plastic finish abrasive kit. Follow the directions for excellent results. Second, and more problematic, is the large cap bushing. the bushing I received measures about 0.648 but the cap is about 0.675. I turned the trustone to 0.675 and it looks great. The other bushing sizes were OK. In short, these appear to be very fine kits perfect to give as special gifts. The finished pens looks spectacular in tru-stone and I am sure they would also look great using any high end blank.

This pen is a true "high end" pen - excellent quality. I was impressed with the ease of assembly and the overall great fit.

Nice pen but a little over the top for me. Some people might like it though.

This is a high end pen that is not difficult to make but shows with very big dividends. This is a pen that draws the eye to most any display. It made me quickly look like a pro.
