Astra Twist Ballpoint Pen Kits
SKU: DK-PKASTRAAB
Astra Twist Ballpoint Pen Kits
Craft a clean, modern ballpoint that lets your blank do the talking with the Astra Twist Pen Kit. The long single-tube profile maximizes the display of figured wood, resin, and acrylic blanks, while the smooth twist mechanism and reliable Parker-style refill deliver everyday writing performance that matches the pen's good looks.
What makes the Astra a turner's staple is how versatile it is — a single drill size, a single tube, and a clean design that works equally well in a rustic stabilized blank or a polished resin pour. Available in Antique Brass, Antique Pewter, Chrome, Gold, and Gunmetal platings from Penn State Industries.
Features
Long-tube single-tube construction: Extended barrel length gives figured grain and resin swirls the full canvas they deserve.
Smooth twist mechanism: Clean, reliable one-hand twist operation — no clicks, no fuss.
Parker-style refill included: Writes smoothly right out of the box; hundreds of aftermarket refill options available.
Modern, clean silhouette: Understated hardware that complements any blank style without competing with it.
Five plating options: Antique Brass, Antique Pewter, Chrome, Gold, and Gunmetal — something for every blank in the collection.
Great for all skill levels: Single tube and one drill size make setup fast and forgiving for beginners and batch turners alike.

Why Turners Love This Kit
The long tube gives dramatic, full-length exposure to your blank — burls, spalted wood, and resin pours look stunning in the Astra profile.
Five platings cover the full spectrum from warm antique finishes to clean modern chrome — one kit that works across any blank collection.
Single tube and single drill size means fast setups — perfect for turning a batch of gift pens without changing tooling mid-session.
The clean, uncluttered design appeals to buyers who want a refined everyday pen — it sells on quality, not gimmicks.
