Writing instruments are true classics that give the time honored tradition of great appreciation to others. We build all of our pens that we sell and start with a basic turning blank from our woodshop and turn each one on our lathes. Check with often on wood species as it is seasonal and varies based on what projects we have going on in the "Big Shop" and the wood we are using at the time. We have made pens from all of the North American woods, plus exotic woods, and we have even done acrylics for our customers.
