Squiggly Segmented Wood European Pen


I love the combination of curves on this pen - the curvy cap of the European pen, the convex profile of the wood, and the squiggly segmented pattern combine to great effect. Made from my favorite two north-american woods - the contrast of walnut and maple is hard to beat. Order one of these and you're guaranteed a unique pen - the squiggly pattern is never the same twice. I always buy the Artisan brand pens through Craft Supplies USA, for the best-quality mechanisms and finishes. With the quality components and fine workmanship, this pen will impress, and will provide a satisfying writing experience for years.

Price for 10k gold as shown: $60.00. Other finishes, shapes, and choices of wood are available. Email me to discuss specifics if you want something not shown in the options below.

Spiral Segmented Wood Cigar Pen

I love this pen! The combination of the hefty cigar pen style, the contrast of the walnut and maple, and the clean lines of the spiral segmented pattern, this pen has MMMMMPPPHHHHH! I just don't know how else to put it. I always say, once you've really given a hand-turned wood pen a chance, you'll never use a plastic disposable pen gladly again. It just makes writing with it a highly enjoyable experience. Don't get me started on the power of the impression you'll make when you pull a pen like this out of your pocket at a business meeting...

Squiggly Segmented Slimline Wood Pen

Yet another pen with my favorite two north-american woods - the contrast of walnut and maple is hard to beat. Order one of these and you're guaranteed a unique pen - the squiggly pattern is never the same twice, and with the narrow profile of the slimline pen, it's dramatic. I always buy the Artisan brand pens through Craft Supplies USA, for the best-quality mechanisms and finishes. This will be a pen that provides a satisfying writing experience for years.

Spiral-Segmented Americana Wood Twist Pen

I have always enjoyed the comfortable contrast of two of North America's most beautiful woods: Walnut and maple. This segmented pattern puts the contrast to great effect with a dramatic spiral pattern. Add to that the classic Americana pen style with its straight lines - the clean lines and precision work make it a pen to behold. Add to that the sophisticated heft and tactile experience of a wood pen - this is guaranteed to impress at the conference table!

Segmented Wood Americana Roller Ball Pen and Letter Opener Set


This hand-turned segmented Americana roller-ball pen and letter opener desk set is made from classic Americana style components. 10-K gold plated for durability and class, and with a checkered, diagonally-cut segmented pattern that makes the set one-of-a-kind. This set is made from padauk (the red wood) and maple (tan), with blackwood diagonal pieces. Most any of the other woods I show on my website could also be used.

The technique involved in assembling the wood pieces is involved, which raises the cost, and the uniqueness, of the piece over solid-piece pens. Order this set or a similar set for $115.00. Individually, this style of pen is $65.00, letter opener $60.00.

Wood Pen: Birdseye Maple and 24k Gold Slimline Twist Pen


These turned wood pens are from Birdseye Maple and 24k Gold Artisan Slimline Twist Pen parts. I tried another variation in styling that I really like on the second one - wider at the ends and tapers to the slim barrel quickly - this gives a comfortable look while retaining the slim look that makes slimline pens look so attractive.

Birdseye maple is one of the rarest woods in the world. Nobody knows for sure what makes the birdseye pattern - little dark dots of swirling grain, but whatever it is does not happen in wood very often, and when found, the wood is set apart and treated very carefully at the lumber mill because it fetches a high price. Rolls Royce uses it for dashboards of its cars, for example.

The pen parts are 24k gold plated, and supplied with a Cross style refill that features a premium Swiss-made carbide writing tip for smooth, consistent writing. The pen has a great feel in your hand - balanced and solid. Price as shown: $27.50 (higher than my other pens from the same 24k gold parts because the birdseye maple is more expensive.) Order a matching pencil for a Pen and Pencil Set.

Figured Maple and 24k Gold Slimline Twist Pen

This Figured Maple and 24k Gold Slimline Twist Pen includes some custom styling - the beaded grip adds character and style, and the figured maple has interesting grain variations.

I like working with maple. Its closed-grain nature finishes smooth and shiny, it's hard, and it cuts cleanly.
