About the Artist

Over the last 30 years, my journey in and out of the woodshop has been a constant in my life. It all began in my grandfather's basement, a place where we spent as much time as we possibly could. There, he nurtured my passion for creating art, from crafting chessboards to building guitars, instilling in me a love for working with my hands and a keen eye for my own flair.

My true calling in woodworking came in 2017 when I discovered woodturning in a local class. From the moment the chisel first met the wood, I was captivated, and the rest, as they say, is history.

This venture is more than just a business; it's a way to carry on my grandfather's legacy and ensure his knowledge and passion for the craft are not forgotten. He is doing incredibly well and has even started learning from me how to turn his own sophisticated projects!

Every single handcrafted wooden pen we offer is a unique piece of functional art, meticulously turned, sanded, and finished by hand. We work exclusively with high-quality hardwoods, including different species of maple, ash, walnut, and beautiful exotic woods like bloodwood, padauk, wenge, and olivewood.

The process is a labor of love. Each pen is sanded to an ultra-smooth 12,000 grit finish, and then sealed with multiple layers of a high-friction polish, blended with beeswax and orange peel. This painstaking process protects the wood from wear and tear and gives each pen a stunning, natural luster.

The ink cartridges are also interchangeable and can be easily replaced with most common cartridges, ensuring your pen is a cherished heirloom you can use for years to come.

  • But take a piece of wood, plane, sand and oil it, and you will find it is a beautiful thing. The more you do to it from then on, the more chance that you will make it worse.

  • It requires a genuine fight to produce one well designed object of relatively permanent value.

  • But craft is more than just a combination of skills and experience, it’s also a link to the handmade past.

  • Each plank [...] can have only one ideal use. The woodworker must find this ideal use and create an object of utility to man, and if nature smiles, an object of lasting beauty.
