Honeybee ballpoint pen kit - antique bronze polish

Honeybee ballpoint pen kit

Bring a little sweetness to your next pen turning project with the Honeybee ballpoint pen kit. Featuring a beehive-inspired cap, honeycomb centre band and decorative bees, this kit is full of charming details that celebrate one of nature's hardest-working insects.

The kit includes a black ink Parker-style ballpoint refill for smooth, reliable everyday writing. It's a great choice for beekeepers, gardeners, nature lovers or anyone who appreciates a pen with a distinctive design.

What tooling do I need to make this pen?

To make this kit, you will need (all sold separately):

• 10 mm drill bit

• 25/64" drill bit

• Bushing set HON-BEE-BU

• 10 mm–25/64" pen mill shaft

• Pen mandrel A / 7 mm

This is a woodworking turning project that requires drilling, turning, finishing and assembly using woodworking equipment. You will receive the pen kit components, not a finished pen.

What is the minimum blank size?

The recommended minimum blank size is 3/4" square × 5" (19 × 19 × 127 mm), suitable for most standard pen turning projects. Shown here with Pearlux pen blank "Autumn Bronze" (blank not included).

What type of ink refill does this pen use?

The Honeybee pen kit includes a black ink Parker-style ballpoint refill. When the ink runs out, you can replace it with another compatible Parker-style refill.

Is this kit available as a pencil? 

You can also convert your Honeybee pen into a pencil by replacing the ballpoint refill with a compatible Parker-style Forever Pencil refill (sold separately). The Forever Pencil uses a long-lasting metal alloy tip that doesn't require sharpening, making it a convenient alternative for notes, sketches or everyday use.

What makes the Honeybee pen kit unique?

The Honeybee pen kit features several decorative details inspired by bees and beekeeping:

• A beehive design on the cap

• A honeycomb-patterned centre band

• Decorative bees on the nib

• A bee accent on the clip

Together, these details create a coordinated design that pairs beautifully with natural wood or colourful acrylic pen blanks.
