I would like to make you a high quality handmade writing instrument, custom made to your specifications. In addition, I can provide you with high quality gift or presentation boxes below retail cost. Contact me and we can design the perfect pen for you or someone you love. The sky is the limit on custom pens!

Would you like to commemorate and preserve a piece of family or world history? Do you have a special piece of antler from someones first hunt or nature hike? Maybe a piece of wood from a broken family heirloom or house. I can take those objects and make a quality pen from them.

In addition, most any combination of colors is possible with resin for the artistic person. I also stabilize and cast spalted, burled, or punky woods with alumilite resin and pearl-ex powders for an amazing combination of wood and resin.

I take pride in my products and do the best job possible on each pen. I will not give you a pen that does not meet my high standards. For custom orders which are not made from typical materials, I can send you pictures along the way to ensure that you are happy with the progress. I will also send you pictures of the finished product before you pay to make sure it meets your needs.

I can do roller ball, fountain or ball point pens in most any finish. I use antler, wood, stone, resin and many objects or images encased in clear resin. I spend anywhere from 1 to 4 hours on each pen. I painstakingly turn them to exact specifications on a wood lathe then sand and polish them to the highest shine possible with 9 grits of sandpaper and buffing wheels.

Custom engraving is also possible. I work with a local engraver to have the pens engraved. Average cost for engraving is $20 per pen.

I charge my actual cost for the items or materials. I do not make money on the materials of the pen or case. I make a small amount of money on the labor and time I put into the pen. I typically charge $20 for a single body pen made from simple materials to $50 for a double body pen from difficult materials and/or finishes.

Once the pen is complete, I will ship it within one business day to you. I am obsessive when it comes to shipping and tracking packages. As soon as the pen ships I will provide tracking numbers to you. I prefer USPS priority mail, but I can use whatever shipping method you prefer.

Contact me and you will not be disappointed. I want you to be happy!
