Nevus Ballpoint Pen Kits
Craft a truly one-of-a-kind pen with the Nevus™ Ballpoint Pen Kit from Berea Hardwoods. Unlike any standard kit, the Nevus gives you full creative control over the shape of the nib, body, and finial — so no two pens need to look alike. Available in Chrome and UpGrade Gold platings, this is a kit built for turners who are ready to push beyond the basics.
What truly sets the Nevus apart is its open-form design philosophy. There are no fixed bushing profiles constraining your turning — instead, you use your pen mandrel with the tailstock as a jam chuck, freeing you to sculpt the exact silhouette you envision. The three-section build (nib, body, and finial) opens up extraordinary possibilities for showcasing exotic blanks at their finest. This is an advanced kit for experienced pen makers who want to take their craft to the next level.
