Some of the more unusual inclusions are pens of antler or checkered polymer clay, and instruments embellished by inlay and wood burning. The last chapter offers selling tips.” —Booklist Synopsis:Here is the definitive guide to fashioning writing instruments, with superb photography that goes close up and clarifies every procedure. Turning pens and pencils is a quick, fun, and inexpensive way to express your design sense; the equipment is minimal but the possibilities are many.

Bonus: an impressive gallery of finished items.
