Farmer Ballpoint Pen Kits
Farmer Ballpoint Pen Kits
Craft a conversation piece with the Farmer Ballpoint Pen Kit — a one-of-a-kind design straight from the Netherlands, created by Marco of Houtdraaiwerken Pen Kits. The pen's tractor and haywagon clip is as functional as it is eye-catching, while the farmer theme flows throughout every detail — from the engraved centerband and nib to the decorated cap-top and barrel sides. Whether it's turned from a stunning burl, a vivid resin, or a rich exotic wood, this kit transforms your blank into a pen that tells a story.
What truly sets the Farmer apart is its fully themed hardware — this isn't a generic clip slapped on a standard kit. Every metal component carries the agricultural motif, making it a standout gift for farmers, country enthusiasts, and collectors alike. The twist mechanism extends and retracts the refill smoothly, and ExoticBlanks has calibrated the nib extension to the length considered standard in the USA.
Features
Themed tractor & haywagon clip: A signature design element that makes this pen instantly recognizable and irresistible to anyone with a love of the land.
Full farmer motif throughout: The agricultural theme extends to the engraved centerband, nib, cap-top, and barrel sides — a cohesive, beautifully executed design.
Smooth twist mechanism: Simply twist the cap to extend or retract the refill — no clicking, no fuss, just elegant operation.
Two-piece barrel construction: A short upper cap blank and a long lower body blank let you mix woods or resins for stunning two-tone effects.
Parker-style refill compatibility: Works with the Schmidt EasyFlow 9000 — one of the smoothest ballpoint refills available — for a silky, near-rollerball writing feel.
US-calibrated nib extension: ExoticBlanks has modified the kit to reflect the nib extension length considered standard in North America.
Makes an unforgettable gift: Perfect for farmers, ranchers, country weddings, retirement gifts, or anyone who appreciates a pen with personality.

Why Turners Love This Kit
The tractor and haywagon clip is a genuine conversation starter — there's simply nothing else like it on a lathe-turned pen.
The two-piece barrel is a blank showcase dream — mix a figured maple cap with a walnut body, or go all-in on a single dramatic resin pour.
Assembly is straightforward with the 4-piece bushing set, and the twist mechanism goes together cleanly every time.
It's the ultimate gift pen for any farmer, rancher, or country living enthusiast — personalized with their favorite wood, it's truly one of a kind.
