White Coconut Shell & Brown Coconut Shell Pen Kits

Now you can make pens from real white and brown coconut shell pen blanks.  Using a process that Berea developed thirteen years ago they have been able to modify several existing pen kits that will allow you to make pens from these beautiful exotic materials.

The parts of each kit have been modified from the original kits to accept the special coconut blanks.  Each kit comes complete with the blanks.  The appropriate tube is already embedded into the material so all you have to do trim the blank to the length of the tube (using a pen mill or disk sander), mount the blank on the appropriate mandrel with the correct bushings and turn.

IMPORTANT: The coconut blanks are covered by a special clear resin that is relatively easy to turn.  It is this resin that you turn down, sand and polish. We have made sure that there is a sufficient amount of clear resin over the coconut. We highly recommend that those who purchase these kits have some experience in pen turning and/or spindle turning.  These kits/blanks are not recommended for beginners!  Replacement coconut blanks are not available.  If you 'blow up' a blank we will not automatically replace it for you.

In addition, you should be aware that in spite of all possible precautions there may be a small bubble or bubbles in the clear resin.  In the rare case you should encounter a bubble the bubble hole can be filled with CA glue.
