    I was not given the option to use the points I had saved up, that would have saved me an additional $20 on this order. On a fixed income that makes a lot of difference.

    I found the kits I wanted on the site, but through the Amazon pay feature I did not receive any emails or tracking status for my shipment. luckily it still arrived in the mail in a good time. I did not create an account, so if the order never completed I don't know how I would've been able to trace it without directly calling customer support.

    They sell top quality, they ship products in a timely manner, when you have a issue or problem Penn State works hard to solve the issue to your satisfaction. Penn State sould be your go to company for projects, tools, finishes, sanding supplies, turning blanks.

    I purchased the Botanical pen kit but I thought I saw on the online picture, a purple paint in the recesses of the decorative tube. I must have imagined it but it gave me an idea. I am going to try dropping a contrast paint to make the details pop and seal with resin glue.

    The online interactive catalog works well. It is easy to find the item I want and I like the quick access to instructions and videos. As for checking out, I've tried PayPal in the past but don't believe I ever got it to work. I always type in a credit card. I greatly appreciate the periodic discounts and the award system. The majority of pens I made is to raise funds for a local nonprofit and every penny I save helps me make more pens :-).
