10 Brand New Turning Supplies for Christmas

Find all your pen turning supplies, right here in Canada

Buying for a pen turning enthusiast can be a bit confusing. You may not be certain what pen turning supplies they already have in their shop. Our top 10 new product gift ideas will give you the answer! You can buy confidently knowing the wood turner on your list won’t already have what you’ve wrapped up under the tree.

1. Wood-Write December Monthly Special- $8.99

Historical pen blanks are always a hit. So it made sense that December’s monthly combo included a certified Olivewood pen blank from Bethlehem, paired with our beautiful Corporate pen kit in chrome. People can’t resist wood with a story, and this special comes accompanied with a certificate of authenticity to confirm the location of this exotic woods birth. Perfect for Christmas!

*If they may have not turned this style before, don’t forget to add on 101A pen bushings for this pen kit!

2. C-Bond CA glue from CEC-Corp- Starting at $5.99

This brand-new line of instant glues is a pen turners best friend. Whether you’re using it for gluing up brass tubes, making a mirror-like CA finish on your pen barrels or sealing a set of knife scales or ring blanks, C-Bond is the only glue brand that offers their products in a mini 1oz bottle, making them the perfect sample size gift or stock stuffer! These guys come in both thin and thick viscosities and three sizes. They’re also made in BC, and we don’t know about you, but we can’t resist a pen turning accessory made in Canada product.

3. Transfer Punches- $26.99

This high demand product is a long-awaited item that’s finally back in stock! This metric set of transfer punches comes with 25 pieces to remove pressed-on parts from most pens, making disassembly simple. Think of it like saving a potentially-ruined pen kit before it happens, salvaging parts or allowing for barrel refinishing. Your pen turner will thank you!

4. Sierra NOMAD pen kit- $17.99

This brand-new kit includes the ever-popular carbon fibre patterning. In one of our most popular colours, the gun metal in both the hardware and the patterning creates depth and a strikingly deep finished product. Although the Sierra NOMAD is brand new to our pen kit line up, it takes the regular Sierra twist tooling. That means your wood turner is likely to already have the pen making supplies needed to turn this new design. This pen kit is limited time- so pick it up while you still can.

5. JB Royal Casting Resin- Starting from $99.99

We just introduced casting products to Penblanks.ca, with everything from resin to mica powder to blank casting molds. Hook your pen turner up with resin to cast their own pen kits or create beautiful resin river tables. You can choose from 2 or 4 pen blank silicone casting molds and a huge variety of mica powder pigments, all priced at $4.99. Not sure which colours your pen turning enthusiast would pick? We’ve created a Mica Powder Bundle or Glitter Powder Bundle that includes 10 different top selling colours to start off a casting material collection strong. A huge plus? JB Royal casting resin doesn’t require a pressure pot to create your own pen blanks, just 10 days curing time.

6. Clarion Demonstrator Fountain Pen Kit- Starting from $20.99

Choose between chrome and gun metal for this brand-new edition to our fountain pen offering. Like the skeleton watch of pen kits, the Demonstrator fountain pen kit uses a clear bottom barrel that showcases the ink cartridge or ink pump so you can see the inner workings of your pen. Your recipient is sure to love the ink pump that gives them the option to draw up their own bottled ink or keep it simple by switching out coloured ink cartridges as they handwrite. Don’t forget to grab the pen bushings before you checkout!

7. Die-Cut Atrax- Starting from $21.99

Available in both rollerball and fountain pen options, the Die-Cut Atrax pen kit is a take on the classic Atrax pen turning kit and has been flying off the shelves since it’s launch 2 weeks ago. Similar to the Sierra NOMAD, it’s likely your turner already has the tooling required to turn this new design. This new version features a new die-cut pattern that adds bling to the cap and end cap. Not sure which plating and style to choose? Our rollerball in chrome is the most popular, and safest option!

8. Fusion Burl Packs- $26.99

The first Fusion burl pack was actually a fluke, but when our stock sold out over a single weekend we gave you more of what you wanted! We’ve now created 8 different burl-acrylic fusion packs in exotic woods like Aussie burl, Black Ash Burl and Box Elder Burl. These hand-poured blanks are bundled together in a 3-pack, saving you $12.00 compared to retail. They’re available in warm, bold and bright colour combinations. Our newest edition is the Box Elder Burl Fusion pack, so your pen turner definitely won’t have this one before Christmas.

9. Pen Blank Mash-Up Gift Bundle $43.99

This one’s sure-fire. With 10 different pen blank materials made up of favourites like stabilized burls, Canadian Fusion pen blanks, poly resin, acrylic and natural exotic woods, the Pen Blank Mash-Up Bundle gives the pen turner on your list the chance to explore something they haven’t before. This bundle even includes the historical Bethlehem Olivewood (plus certificate) we first mentioned in our Monthly Special Bundle.

10. Mini Bolt Action Pen Key Chain $14.99

Apart from the Slimline, the Bolt Action is a top selling style at Penblanks.ca. Customers love the realistic bolt-action handle that smoothly advances and retracts the ink refill. Whether your turner is a target-shooting enthusiasts or a fidgeter, this gift will be a very pleasant surprise. Just don’t forget to pick-up the pen bushings for this new kit!
