1. Weekly Specials on Pen Turning Supplies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019re not going to stop you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re signed up for our weekly Newsletter,<\/a> you\u2019ll 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,<\/a> if you\u2019re not already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insider Scoop!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although our upcoming weekly specials aren\u2019t advertised until Sunday morning, our sale prices go live at Penblanks.ca on Friday afternoon. Meaning, if you know what you\u2019re after, you may be able to combine two weeks worth of weekly specials. So, if there\u2019s a pen turning kit in particular you\u2019re dying to turn on the lathe, make sure you check the price before you head to checkout- it may be our next weeks special!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Boxing Day + Black Friday sales on Pen Making Hardware<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019ve got on sale that year. You can give us a shout at 1-877-585-0403. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Quantity Discount Pricing on Pen Blanks + Kits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you\u2019ve noticed the red \u201cMix & Match Pricing\u201d 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\u2019re in the product page you\u2019ll see a discount chart to the right side of the turning kit photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
