But seriously, how much for some pens?
It can vary based on type of wood, stock i have, and type of pen. but they're going to average $30-40.

I'm not sure, but I do find that my writing is neater when using one that I've made. I think it has to do with the weight.

Interested? It'd be fun to turn something different. Plus you could tell me if they're good for artists so I can put it in my repertoire.

If you have the time to make them I would like 3. Any type of wood you want. If you can make them all different that would be awesome. Otherwise just 1 is good.
