Hey Everyone,

Quick question, There is a art/crafts gallery that is interested in selling
my pens. They have inquired about having them in wooden gift boxes. I have
looked at Lee Valley and they do not have what I am looking for. My question
to you all is, does anyone have a source for wooden pen boxes at a
reasonable price? Down the line I may make my own. But for the meantime I
need something quick. Any help would be appreciated.

Might help if you could describe what it is that you are looking for in
a box - style, etc. I have to agree that the standard "split slab with a
groove in it" units many turning suppliers offer are a yawn.

You might want to take a look at the pen boxes offered by Craft Supply
http://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/ . They have some very nice wooden boxes
for pens.

I am looking for something that will hold a "Mont Blanc" style Pen. As well
as a box for a "slimline" Pen, and Pencil set. It would be nice if they had
felt on the inside, but that is not a requirement.

Check in the Yellow Pages under Ad Specialty or Novelties. They will =

box alone? They will even laser engrave it for you.=20

I believe they are called 'presentation' or 'gift' boxes. A 'display =
box' stays in the store. I found a few, not all are wooden:
