Adding Ballpoint pens to the mix.
I originally designed this store to be a way to showcase my custom fountain pens that I make. The problem is that I like to make ALOT of different things in general. I also really enjoy making ballpoint pens. As of today you will find an ever increasing selection of ballpoint pens that I will also offer for sale. I can't help it, the one thing I love about kit pens is the variety of wood that you can use to make them. I still enjoy using acrylic and resins, but there is nothing like the feel of a wood...
Gearing up for Christmas
I spent quite a bit of time this weekend making pens. I got 2 done in Conway Stewart acrylic that both turned out pretty cool. I did one other pen in a Green Flecked acrylic this is understated, but turned out much better than I originally thought it would.

I have been experimenting in my spare time with a completely made from scratch plunger filling system. I am not quite ready to put...

Its actually a pretty tolerable 85. I have a box for pens I made from Walnut about half done. Still deciding on how I am going to...
Made some clown poop and started a pen box. 6-9-17
Today was a pretty good day in the shop. I made a pen that looks like a piece of clown poop and I got started on a box made from walnut. The box is being made from locally harvested air dried walnut. The wood has a pretty cool story around it. There was a really old walnut tree being cut down in Seward Nebraska (a town about 80 miles away from here) back in the 1970's. A guy I know who has been a woodworker his whole life and is now in his late 80's, had the wood taken to...
