1. Weekly Specials on Pen Turning Supplies

The best way to save is by shopping our weekly specials. At Penblanks.ca we put at least 1 pen kit, pen blank and project blank on every single week, amongst a few other products. There is no quantity cap on any of the specials we run, so if you want to stock up on a sale item- we’re not going to stop you!

If you’re signed up for our weekly Newsletter, you’ll receive the announcement of our weekly specials first on Sunday morning. That way you have the best chance at our sales before anything sells out. You can sign up for our wood turning supply newsletter here, if you’re not already.

Insider Scoop!

Although our upcoming weekly specials aren’t advertised until Sunday morning, our sale prices go live at Penblanks.ca on Friday afternoon. Meaning, if you know what you’re after, you may be able to combine two weeks worth of weekly specials. So, if there’s a pen turning kit in particular you’re dying to turn on the lathe, make sure you check the price before you head to checkout- it may be our next weeks special!

2. Boxing Day + Black Friday sales on Pen Making Hardware

Although it may require a bit of patience, our Black Friday sales and Boxing Day specials on wood pen turning kits and turning supplies are killer. If you give us a call in advance, you may be able to sweet talk one of us into telling you which pen kit we’ve got on sale that year. You can give us a shout at 1-877-585-0403.

These are always our biggest sales of the year for pen turning hardware in Canada, and usually feature an exclusive pen kit to William Wood-Write. These sales will extend over a full week, overlapping two different weekly specials. Triple whammy!

3. Quantity Discount Pricing on Pen Blanks + Kits

Maybe you’ve noticed the red “Mix & Match Pricing” logo in the right corner of tons of our turning kit photos. If you see that logo, you can mix and match different turning kits and platings to get volume price discounts. Price breaks will be automatically calculated in your shopping basket at the following volumes where available: 10-24, 25-49 and 50+. You can look at each products price break by clicking on the item itself. Once you’re in the product page you’ll see a discount chart to the right side of the turning kit photo.

Acrylic acetate pen blanks and most other pen blanks are part of this deal- so you can try a huge array of colours and still take advantage of discount pricing!

4. Exotic Wood Blank Auctions + Giveaways

There’s a ton happening on our social media pages including weekly auctions on Facebook. We auction off lots of exotic pen blanks in Canada, ring blanks, ring blocks, stabilized pen blank shorts, live edge burl pieces, wood knife scales and blocks and exotic wood segmenting strips for any type of wood turning project.

Our weekly auctions are posted in late morning every Wednesday. You’ll see an auction photo with the post and can submit your bid in the comments below the post. The winner will be the first bid at 8:00EST the same day. It includes free shipping too! If you aren’t already following us on Facebook, you can check us out here. Just make sure you hit the “Follow” button, so you don’t miss next weeks auction!

We also give away lots of free pen kits, wood turning kits and exclusive pen blanks on our Instagram + TikTok channels.

Follow us on Instagram @WilliamWoodWrite and on TikTok @WilliamWoodWriteLtd so you don’t miss out on our next give away.

Bonus Tip!

One more great way to get some free stuff is by typing “FREE” into the search bar at Penblanks.ca. In the past we’ve given away limited time promotional products like our engraved Maple Leaf twist pen kit in chrome, collective sticker series and our “Thank you” key ring- designed to be turned and given away to someone who has left a positive impact on your life. We’re amid creating a new exclusive promotional item, so keep your eyes peeled!  

So really, it’s not hard to save a pretty penny on anything from mica powders to ring and knife making supplies, to pen kits and wood blanks along with all the pen making tools you’ll need. Moreover, William Wood-Write is a Canadian company that ships right from Guelph, ON. That mean you’re not paying any customs or duty fees, and we can have your package on its way to you the next day without any hold-ups!
