Throwing top
Tops date back at least to 3500 BC. This top, a throwing top, was popular with the kids of my generation in the 1940s and 1950s. The tops I played with had a steel tip, which could scratch a wood floor easily. The ones that I make have a replaceable plastic tip that will not damage a floor. The tops are turned from maple, sanded smoth, and then finished to a satin sheen. Each top comes with a string cut to the length needed for the the top and illustrated instructions for throwing and spinning the top. The price for the smaller top is $25.00 and $35.00 for the larger top.
Tops can be made from other woods. Contact Berkshire Pens for details.

Custom Made Cigar Click Pen
This is a pen commissioned as a gift by a relative of a musician who has made several violins. The pen body was turned from from scraps of wood used in making a violin. The wood, an imported maple, is ordinarily very light in shade. Several stains were mixed to get close to the color of the varnish on the violin. As a custom order, a satin finish was requested. When the color was deep enough to show the patterning of the maple, a final coat of stain was added and set by applying pressure between the applicator and the wood while the lathe was turning. The heat generated by the friction of the applicator and the wood yielded the desired sheen. The final finishing coat was a friction polished hard finishing wax. The pen will acquire a patina as its new owner uses it. The pen hardware is 24 Kt Gold plate and black enamel trim, chosen to complement the colors one might find on a violin.
The pen uses standard Parker™ style refills. It carries a lifetime guarantee.
Using the materials desired by a customer is extremely satisfying. If you have a piece of wood that special meaning for you, please contact Berkshire Pens.
