Please stop by and visit The Depot Market for your fresh local goods and while you’re there take a look at their new charcuterie boards!

Let me know If you need any high quality engravings, when I’m not on the lathe the lasers are usually running!

Merry Christmas everyone, been a while since I posted but I’ve been staying busy with custom work and orders.

Had some time to just create today so I did a new “cigar” pen. This one is a beautiful piece of Walnut Burl and the labels are from a Monte Cristo White Series from the Dominican.

It’s available, feel free to make me an offer! 😁

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, work has been keeping me busy! I did another Cigar pen for one of my buddies I’ll see on my next trip. These are fun when finished but can be nerve wracking with the number of times they have exploded on the lathe! 😁

Another cigar pen hot off the lathe! I think I’m figuring this out… 😁😁😁

Sold!

Last nights shop time… Antler on another of the “kitless” kits. This one is Mule Deer and the first time I’ve worked with it. Definitely easier than Whitetail, straighter, thicker, and more dense. Love it! 😁

Had an incredible weekend at my wife's Kelpytown Kove 2024 Illumination Festival yesterday, raised a bunch of money for two charities (Lewis County Traumatic Loss Team and Tomorrow Needs You) and had a great day selling some of my creations while buying things from some of the other vendors (and winning both of the sweet Outlier Knives at the Chinese auction). Met a bunch of other awesome vendors and wanted to give a shoutout to all of them here. If you have a moment and want to share the love, please give each of these vendors a follow or like, sometimes it's just what the small business owners need to make their day!

Nice relaxing day in the shop and I continue to love making these particular pens. The internal bits are made in the USA and these four are all stainless steel. The dark brown one is Zircote with a bit of the sapwood showing. The mostly red one is dyed maple and acrylic but the blank was too short for the kit so I added a piece of Amboyna to the end. The lighter brown one is a curly Narra and acrylic hybrid which was also too short so it has a section of dyed Box Elder added to it also. My absolute favorite today is the green one though, it is all dyed and stabilized Box Elder burl and will be hard to part with!

All of these will be available at next weekend’s Kelpytown Kove 2024 Illumination Festival!

Last night’s pen therapy turned out a pretty cool Jack and Coke hybrid rollerball on a blue titanium kit.

06/14/2024

Made a couple beauties tonight! First is another kitless, this one from Walnut sapwood with a rollerball. The other is also a rollerball and is a hybrid with maple and an American flag, wow….

05/31/2024

Not quite finished with this one but it’s looking like it will be a beauty!

Still can’t get enough of this pen style, here’s the latest. This is my own hybrid casting, maple and acrylic.
