Handcrafted Wooden Pens

Pen Turning Is An Artisan's Delight

While I think you should buy handcrafted wooden pens for a number of reasons, the truth is that the pens themselves provide you with several rewards. You're not just getting something to write with here. You can get that from any big-box retailer if all you want is ink. However, if you are seeking something more fulfilling, you’ve come to the right place.

My hand made wooden pens combine innovative woodworking techniques with top quality materials to create an object of art. These handcrafted wooden pens really are collectable quality. Of course, they're also fully functional items that you can use reliably for years to come.

You’ll get more than just a pretty pen. . . . You also get the opportunity to ensure that the woodworking techniques needed to make the pens stay alive. Wood turned pens are a relatively new innovation, and every purchase you make validates the importance of the technique.

Supporting Artisan Craft Technique Developments

All of my wood pens are a chance for you to support artisan craft technique developments. Pen turning only really evolved in the 1990’s, and it won’t survive without support from people who like the look and feel of the end product. When you buy one of my pens, you validate the time and effort that went into developing the technique and teaching it to home crafters like myself.

You also ensure that the skills get passed on to others. While I have fun teaching my grandchildren how to make wood pens, I wouldn’t be teaching them pen making skills if I didn’t think pen making was going to be a useful skill in the future. I only want to show them techniques they can use to make beautiful and useful things that others will want also.

Supporting Natural Wood Products

Wooden pens also support the continuation of natural wood products. There’s enough forest-destroying manufacturing out there already. Pens are made from specialty woods, encouraging responsible growing habits and care for woodland environments to ensure a steady supply of useable wood.

Enjoy Supporting Good Causes

With the environmental and craft benefits of supporting handcrafted wooden pens listed above, there's also the reward of enjoying supporting good causes. My pens don’t guilt you into supporting them. They really are good pieces that just happen to support a cycle of positive events.
