Reed Arena is a sports arena and entertainment venue located at the corner of Olsen Boulevard and Kimbrough Boulevard in College Station, Texas. This facility is used for Texas A&M University basketball games and commencement ceremonies, concerts, trade shows, family entertainment, and Texas A&M student programs, including the on-campus Aggie Muster. The building replaced the G. Rollie White Coliseum, and is named for Dr. & Mrs. Chester J. Reed, a 1947 A&M graduate whose donations made the new arena possible.

Reed Arena first opened its doors in 1998 as a member of Texas A&M Special Event Facilities. The arena was named after its primary donor Chester J. Reed, Texas A&M Class of 1947. The building hosts many official functions for Texas A&M University. With enough indoor seating capacity for 12,500 guests, the arena makes an ideal location for the university's graduation ceremonies, freshmen convocation, and Aggie Muster ceremonies. The main purpose behind building the arena was to house the Texas A&M's men's and women's basketball teams. However, unlike all the other athletic facilities on campus, Reed Arena operates under the Department of Finance, not the Athletic Department.

In February 2006, the 12th Man Foundation, a fund raising organization associated with Texas A&M Athletics, announced plans for an effort to build the Cox-McFerrin Center, a 40,000-square-foot (3,700 m2) addition to Reed Arena, providing new men's and women's basketball locker rooms, practice gyms, and player lounges. On February 2, 2007, the A&M System Board of Regents approved a revised plan, increasing the size of the facility to 69,400 square feet (6,450 m2) and a total cost of $21.5 million.

Craft Coat Wood Finish – Premium Waterborne Linseed Finish

Elevate your turned pens with Craft Coat, the ultimate water-based finish designed specifically for pen makers and woodturners. This one-component, linseed oil-modified waterborne urethane delivers a professional, high-gloss shine with exceptional durability – perfect for exotic woods, resin hybrids, and everyday pen blanks.

Craft Coat self-crosslinks upon exposure to air, creating a tough film that's highly resistant to scuffs, mars, impacts, and chemicals. It provides the rich depth and gloss of traditional oil-modified urethanes but with superior adhesion, even on dense or oily hardwoods like exotics.

Why Pen Turners Love Craft Coat:

• Lightning-Fast Application on the Lathe: Apply as a wipeon polish – multiple coats in under a minute apart (just 30-45 seconds between layers). Build a brilliant gloss quickly without waiting hours.
• Low Odor & Easy Cleanup: Water-based formula with minimal smell. Cleans up with simple soap and water – no harsh solvents needed.
• Safe & Eco-Friendly: Contains no toxins or chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects (California Proposition 65 compliant).
• Versatile Use: Wipe on while turning, brush, spray, or dip. Dries to touch in ~20 minutes; ready for sanding/recoating in 1-2 hours.
• Outstanding Results: Deep, mirror-like shine that enhances grain and color. Excellent for stadium-style resin blanks, wood, and hybrids.

Quick Application Tips for Pen Turning (Friction Polish Method):

1. Sand your blank smoothly (up to 600-2000 grit for best results).
2. With lathe running, apply a small amount to a soft cloth.
3. Wipe on thinly –  dries quickly in just a few seconds.
4. Wait 30-45 seconds, then apply the next coat. Build 6-10 layers for a satin-like finish. For more open grained wood, 10-15 coats can be needed.
5. Final coat off the lathe for extra smoothness.

Full Application Instructions:

• Surface Prep: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, dust-free, and sanded smooth.
• Methods: Wipe on with foam brush, microfiber cloth, spray, or dip.
• Drying: Touch-dry in 20 minutes; recoat in 1-2 hours (longer in cool/humid conditions).
• Cleanup: Soap and water.

Crosley Field was a Major League Baseball park located in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was the home field of the National League's Cincinnati Reds from 1912 through June 24, 1970, and the original Cincinnati Bengals football team, members of the second (1937) and third American Football League (1940-41). It was not the original home of the current NFL franchise of the same name - the home of those Bengals in 1968 and 1969 was nearby Nippert Stadium, located on the campus of the University of Cincinnati. Crosley Field was on an asymmetrical block bounded by Findlay Street (south), Western Avenue (northeast, angling), York Street (north) and McLean Avenue (west) in the Queensgate section of the city. Crosley has the distinction of being the first major-league park with lights for playing night games.

Sierra and Bolt embedded blanks with Curtis SB2C-5 Helldiver.

All blanks will come with one COA per blank.
COAs are 4" x 6" card stock with foil COA seal.

The Curtis SB2C-5 Helldiver was a World War II dive bomber developed by Curtiss-Wright Corporation, serving as a crucial component of the U.S. Navy's air operations. Introduced in 1943, the SB2C-5 Helldiver was the final variant of the SB2C series, featuring several improvements over its predecessors. It had a more powerful engine, extended fuel capacity, and the capability to carry a greater bomb load, including torpedoes and depth charges.

The Helldiver earned the nickname "The Beast" due to its rugged design and challenging handling characteristics, but it proved highly effective in its role. Despite initial issues with stability and performance, the SB2C-5's ability to deliver accurate, high-damage strikes made it indispensable in the latter stages of the Pacific Theater. It played a pivotal role in the destruction of Japanese naval and ground targets, including during the Battle of the Philippine Sea and the Battle of Leyte Gulf.

The Helldiver was crewed by two—a pilot and a rear gunner—and was equipped with forward-firing machine guns and rear-mounted twin machine guns for defense. Its service continued until the end of World War II, after which it was gradually phased out as newer aircraft were developed.

Sierra embedded blanks with cloth wing material from the Curtiss NC-4 Flying Boat.

All blanks will come with one COA per blank.
COAs are 4" x 6" card stock with foil COA seal.

The NC-4 was a Curtiss NC flying boat built in 1917. It was the first aircraft to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. The NC designation was derived from the collaborative efforts of the Navy and Curtiss. The NC series flying boats were designed to meet wartime needs, and after the end of World War I they were sent overseas to validate the design concept.

The aircraft was designed by Glenn Curtiss and his team, and manufactured by Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company, with the hull built by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Corporation in Bristol, Rhode Island.

In May 1919, a crew of United States Navy aviators flew the NC-4 from New York State to Lisbon, Portugal, over the course of 19 days. This included time for stops of numerous repairs and for crewmen's rest, with stops along the way in Massachusetts, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and twice in the Azores Islands. Then its flight from the Azores to Lisbon completed the first transatlantic flight between North America and Europe, and two more flights from Lisbon to northwestern Spain to Plymouth, England, completed the first flight between North America and Great Britain.

The transatlantic capability of the NC-4 was the result of developments in aviation that began before World War I. In 1908, Glenn Curtiss had experimented unsuccessfully with floats on the airframe of an early June Bug craft, but his first successful takeoff from water was not carried out until 1911, with an A-1 airplane fitted with a central pontoon. After World War I ended, Curtis and the Navy had built a set of four identical aircraft, the NC-1, NC-2, NC-3 and the NC-4, the U.S. Navy's first series of four Curtiss NC floatplanes made for the Navy by the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company. The NC-4 made its first test flight on 30 April 1919.

These blanks are made from original wing fabric from the Curtis NC-4 Flying Boat. The NC-4 is property of the Smithsonian Institution, since it was given to that institution by the Navy after it was dissembled and returned home from its transatlantic flight. As of 1974, the reassembled NC-4 is on loan from the Smithsonian to the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, Florida. The material is certified and distributed by Hardin Penworks, LLC. This material is guaranteed to be 100% Authentic.

Sierra embedded blanks with WWII Curtiss P-40 Warhawk  aluminum wing material.

All blanks will come with one COA per blank.
COAs are 4" x 6" card stock with foil COA seal.

The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk is an American single-engined, single-seat, all-metal fighter and ground-attack aircraft that first flew in 1938. The P-40 design was a modification of the previous Curtiss P-36 Hawk which reduced development time and enabled a rapid entry into production and operational service. The Warhawk was used by most Allied powers during World War II, and remained in frontline service until the end of the war. It was the third most-produced American fighter of World War II, after the P-51 and P-47; by November 1944, when production of the P-40 ceased, 13,738 had been built, all at Curtiss-Wright Corporation's main production facilities at Buffalo, New York.

P-40 Warhawk was the name the United States Army Air Corps gave the plane, and after June 1941, the USAAF adopted the name for all models, making it the official name in the U.S. for all P-40s. The British Commonwealth and Soviet air forces used the name Tomahawk for models equivalent to the original P-40, P-40B, and P-40C, and the name Kittyhawk for models equivalent to the P-40D and all later variants.

P-40s first saw combat with the British Commonwealth squadrons of the Desert Air Force in the Middle East and North African campaigns, during June 1941. No. 112 Squadron Royal Air Force, was among the first to operate Tomahawks in North Africa and the unit was the first Allied military aviation unit to feature the "shark mouth" logo, copying similar markings on some Luftwaffe Messerschmitt Bf 110 twin-engine fighters.

The P-40's lack of a two-speed supercharger made it inferior to Luftwaffe fighters such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109 or the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 in high-altitude combat and it was rarely used in operations in Northwest Europe. However, between 1941 and 1944, the P-40 played a critical role with Allied air forces in three major theaters: North Africa, the Southwest Pacific, and China. It also had a significant role in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, Alaska and Italy. The P-40's performance at high altitudes was not as important in those theaters, where it served as an air superiority fighter, bomber escort and fighter-bomber. Although it gained a postwar reputation as a mediocre design, suitable only for close air support, more recent research including scrutiny of the records of individual Allied squadrons indicates that this was not the case: the P-40 performed surprisingly well as an air superiority fighter, at times suffering severe losses, but also inflicting a very heavy toll on enemy aircraft.[9] Based on war-time victory claims, over 200 Allied fighter pilots – from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, the US and the Soviet Union – became aces flying the P-40. These included at least 20 double aces, mostly over North Africa, China, Burma and India, the South West Pacific and Eastern Europe. The P-40 offered the additional advantages of low cost and durability, which kept it in production as a ground-attack aircraft long after it was obsolescent as a fighter.

Benjamin Franklin was born on January 17, 1706 in Boston, MA, in what was known as the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He was born in a small house at 17 Milk Street, across the street from the Old Meeting House. Franklin was born in this house and lived there for six years with his father Josiah, mother Abiah, and his 16 siblings. Benjamin was the 15th child and youngest son.

Franklin stated that he was born  at the corner of Hanover and Union Street in Boston, but  according to the Bostonian Society he was mistaken. Records show that Josiah Franklin was a tenant at 17 Milk Street from 1685 to 1712, where Benjamin was born in 1706. The family later moved to Hanover and Union Street, where his father's soap and candle shop was located. Benjamin lived there with his family until the age of 17, when he decided to leave for Philadelphia.

The current building that stands on 17 Milk Street is not the original where Franklin was born. The original building was destroyed by a fire in 1811, making room for the building that stands there today. There is a bust of Franklin commemorating his birthplace on the second floor facade of the building. The inscription on the wall reads “Birthplace of Franklinâ".

Hardin Penworks, LLC, certifies that the wood supplied to the artisan of the accompanying item was sourced from the historic spruce wood beams of the building currently occupying the original home of Benjamin Franklin on Milk Street.

Opened in 1986, it is the fourth-largest college basketball arena in the United States and the third-largest specifically built for basketball.

The arena is named after former North Carolina men's basketball coach Dean Smith, who coached the team from 1961 to 1997. Smith coached the last eleven and a half years of his career in the arena, making him one of the few college coaches in any sport to coach in an arena or stadium that is named for him.

The hardwood floor was dedicated and renamed Roy Williams Court on August 24, 2018.

Madison Square Garden, colloquially known as The Garden or in initials as MSG, is a multi-purpose indoor arena in New York City. Located in Midtown Manhattan between 7th and 8th Avenues from 31st to 33rd Streets, it is situated atop Pennsylvania Station. It is the fourth venue to bear the name "Madison Square Garden"; the first two (1879 and 1890) were located on Madison Square, on East 26th Street and Madison Avenue, with the third Madison Square Garden (1925) further uptown at Eighth Avenue and 50th Street.

The Garden is used for professional ice hockey and basketball, as well as boxing, concerts, ice shows, circuses, professional wrestling and other forms of sports and entertainment. It is close to other midtown Manhattan landmarks, including the Empire State Building, Koreatown, and Macy's at Herald Square. It is home to the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League (NHL), the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association (NBA), and was home to the New York Liberty (WNBA) from 1997 to 2017.

Originally called Madison Square Garden Center, the Garden opened on February 11, 1968, and is the oldest major sporting facility in the New York metropolitan area. It is the oldest arena in the National Hockey League and the National Basketball Association. In 2016, MSG was the second-busiest music arena in the world in terms of ticket sales, behind The O2 Arena in London. Including two major renovations, its total construction cost is approximately $1.1 billion, and it has been ranked as one of the 10 most expensive stadium venues ever built. It is part of the Pennsylvania Plaza office and retail complex, named for the railway station. Several other operating entities related to the Garden share its name.

Hardin Penworks, LLC, certifies that material supplied to the artisan of the accompanying hand-crafted item was sourced from the stadium seats of Detroit Olympia, was a multi-purpose arena in Detroit, MI.

Detroit Olympia, also known as Olympia Stadium and nicknamed "The Old Red Barn", was best known as the home of the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League from its opening in 1927 to 1979. The stadium was also home to the NBA Detroit Pistons from 1957 to 1961.

The Olympia opened on October 15, 1927, and the primary tenants of the building, the NHL Detroit Cougars, began their long residence. The Cougars played their first game at the Olympia on November 22, 1927, and the visiting Ottawa Senators defeated the Cougars, 2–1. The Cougars later became the Falcons and finally, in 1932, were named the Detroit Red Wings by new owner James E. Norris.

On December 15, 1979, the Red Wings played their final home game at the Olympia, a 4–4 tie against the Quebec Nordiques. The final event at the building took place on February 21, 1980. It was demolished in September 1987.
