Wood Pen - Purpleheart and Chrome, Custom Design


This purpleheart wood pen was a bit of an experiment for me. I started with chrome slimline parts, and then I did away with the center band so that I wasn't limited to a certain diameter in the middle of the pen. I like the resulting design - not as slim as the slimline pens I'm used to seeing, and a little shorter - this keeps the small convenient planner-sized pen but gives it a more masculine look.

Order this pen, or one like it, for $25.00

Slimline Pen and Pencil Set - Hand Turned Dyed Box Elder Burl


This is an Artisan brand slimline pen and pencil set with custom clips in the shape of a treble clef. It is hand-turned from stabilized dyed box elder burl, and uses durable 10-k gold components. The Box Elder tree is a variety of maple tree, also known as Boxelder Maple and Maple Ash. A small, fast-growing, and short-lived tree, it has generally weak wood with little use commercially, except for the burls, which have beautiful coloring and grain patterns. This pencil is from a dyed box elder burl where they impregnate it with a colored dye. In addition to green, the dyed box elder burls are available in yellow, red, black, blue, purple, brown, and magenta.

The custom clips make these totally personal and individual, and therefore great gifts. Other shapes available are baseball, golf, tennis, football, basketball, soccer, rifle, bowling, fishing, medical, hockey, cross, or jonah (fish). This set was actually made by my son, Tyler, with my help for the finishing touches.

Black and White Ebony and Chrome Slimline Pencil


This hand-turned wood pencil is made from black and white ebony, with quality Artisan slimline components, chrome-plated for style and durability.

It features striking contrast between a creamy background and thick, dark chocolate bands. This wood has silky-fine texture with mostly straight grain and is very hard. It turns nicely and takes a fabulous polish.

The chrome finish matches nicely with the ebony, and is one of the more durable metal finishes available for custom pens and pencils. Price for this pencil: $35.00

Carob Wood Slimline Pen and Pencil Set


This Carob Wood Slimline Pen and Pencil Set was made with smooth elegant lines to draw attention to the color variation of the carob grain. Carob is an evergreen shrub with edible bean-like pods (which some believe was part of what John the Baptist survived on in the wilderness), you may know carob better for the chocolate substitute that is derived from the beans. The wood can vary in color from orange-brown as shown to red or pink creamy colors and this pen shows them all, though it's hard to tell from the photo, sorry. The carob tree is the only tree in the Holy Land that can outlive the olive tree.

The pencil parts are 24k gold plated, and use 0.5mm lead. The pen is also 24k gold plated, with a smooth Artisan brand mechanism and a cross style refill. The set has a great feel in your hand - balanced and solid. Price as shown: $55.00

Birdseye Maple Slimline Wood Pencil


This hand-turned wood pencil is made Birdseye Maple and 24k Gold Artisan Slimline parts. The flared profile is really comfortable to hold and write with, and the balance feels great, not to mention that it looks cool.

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 parts are 24k gold plated. The pencil uses 0.5mm lead.

Price for this pencil: $35.00.

Wood Pencil: Bloodwood and 10k Gold Slimline


Made from 10k gold components for durablility, cut from bloodwood for beauty, and flared at the ends for style and comfort, this is my favorite pencil I've made yet.

Bloodwood is actually a name for several types of reddish wood. This is the Brosimum Rubescens botanical name, and is hard and tough, with no smell at all, unless it's smoking hot, in which case it smells like coconut and sweet incense. Shavings are a striking bright red color, and it finishes nicely. Hard and strong, it's supposed to age to a deep brown color, but the finish will slow that down.

The pencil parts are 10k gold Artisan Slimline parts for quality durability. It uses 0.5 mm lead. Price as shown: $30.00. Order with a matching pen for a wood pen and pencil set.

Turned Wood Pen and Pencil Set


This Turned Wood Pen and Pencil Set is made from bloodwood, and uses 10-k gold components for durability - should keep its original appearance for years of normal use. The components are the Artisan Slimline Twist Pen and Click Pencil components. This is my favorite shape for the styling of pens and pencils too - flaring wider toward the tip and end, making it look stunning and feel comfortable and balanced in the hand.
