Protura Ballpoint Pen Kits

Craft a pen that turns heads with the understated elegance of the Protura Ballpoint Pen Kit. Its distinctive cone-shaped tip and slim single-tube body give finished pens a clean, professional silhouette that looks like it belongs in a boutique — not a workshop. A go-to choice for turners looking for a refined everyday writer or a gift-worthy showpiece.

What truly sets the Protura apart is its long single-tube design. With the entire blank running the full length of the pen body, every swirl of color, figure, and grain gets its moment in the spotlight. Add in the easy twist mechanism and the included Parker-style refill, and you have a kit that's as practical to assemble as it is beautiful to write with.

Features

• Cone-shaped tip: tapered nose design gives the Protura a polished, distinguished look straight from the lathe.

• Long single-tube body: maximizes blank exposure so exotic wood, acrylic, or resin can truly shine across the full pen length.

• Twist mechanism: smooth, reliable action with minimal moving parts for quick assembly and years of dependable use.

• Parker-style refill included: pen is gift-ready right out of the box — no hunting for a separate refill.

• Easy to turn and assemble: single-tube construction and minimal components make this an excellent project for beginners and a quick win for experienced turners.

• Slim, professional profile: at 5-1/16" finished length, it sits comfortably in the hand and slips easily into a shirt pocket.

• Available in Chrome, Golden, and Gun Metal: choose the finish that best complements your blank.
