Statesman Fountain Pen Kits (Full Size)
SKU: DK-050-P22
Statesman Fountain Pen Kit (Full Size)
The Statesman Fountain Pen Kit (Full Size) is the full-sized counterpart to the Jr. Statesman, scaled up for those who prefer a larger, more commanding writing instrument. It features the same signature hand-cast engraved insets on the cap and barrel ends, surrounded by brilliant Rhodium plating — a combination that balances modern polish with handcrafted artistry. Non-postable by design, the Statesman is built to be used and displayed as a complete, balanced pen.
Available in Palladium and 22KT Gold plating, the Statesman accepts a 7/8" × 7/8" × 5.5" blank and uses a 7mm mandrel system. Ships with a Schmidt converter and standard cartridge.
Features
Hand-cast engraved insets — individually crafted decorative elements on the cap and barrel ends that set this kit above standard plated hardware
Brilliant Rhodium plating — a durable, high-lustre finish that provides a stunning backdrop for the engraved insets
Full-size proportions — larger than the Jr. Statesman, designed for writers who prefer a full-length pen
Non-postable — presented as a complete writing instrument without the need to post the cap
Schmidt converter + cartridge compatible — versatile ink filling for everyday or travel use
Palladium and 22KT Gold plating options — cool and warm metal tones to complement any blank
Tooling Requirements
Drill bits: 15/32" (body) and 37/64" (cap)
Mandrel: Handle-Anything 7mm Mandrel Shaft
Mix & Match
The Statesman Full Size has the presence to carry a premium blank without the hardware feeling lost. Dense exotics like bocote, figured rosewood, and black walnut all make excellent choices. The Palladium plating version works beautifully with lighter, figured blanks; the 22KT Gold sings against rich, dark woods and warm-toned exotics.

Hand-cast engraved insets (cap and barrel ends)
Center band

Why Turners Love This Kit
The Statesman Full Size is a statement pen for turners who want to go big. The hand-cast engraved insets make the hardware feel genuinely artisan, and the full-size proportions mean you have room to show off a spectacular blank. This is the kit that goes in the display case, gets priced at the top of your range, and draws the serious collectors. If you're already making the Jr. Statesman, making the full-size version alongside it gives you a natural two-piece set that works beautifully as a matched pair.
