Handmade ballpoint pen

[Sam]

Well, anyone have a pen made for them or buy handmade pens? I am working with Robert Quinn at Elite razors and noticed he had pens, other than the shave stuff he sells. Got me to thinking I might like a wood or blue stone ballpoint pen. I like the shape and feel of the Visconti Van Gogh, but dont want to spend $100 or so on a ballpoint, but around $50 would be good. I have the Visconti Opera Club, the eight-sided pen in black guilloche. Feels good and stuff, but some days, I d like something a little bit more eye appealing. So, know of any good turners or makers and got any pics? Oh, and in the $40 to $50 price range?>

A friend of mine is a wood worker and he makes pens for everyone. He also made me a pepper grinder that I love too.
