What woods do you have?

Our current lathe is a Delta Midi with added variable speed motor.

Two new pens Ryan made, both are leather, The back one is black leather without finish, aka suede finish.   The front one is recycled welding gloves.  This is the second welding glove pen he has made, this one sadly reminds me of old sports wraps...  he said the first one is his favorite pen.

Here is a how we make these blanks, cut squares and punch a hole, stack them like dimes and turn them.  We can have them as finished or suede. 

Ryan had a misshap with the glove pen, the tailstock came loose and the mandrel bent.  This might be why he stopped early.

This is a box elder burl pen.

And this is a pen with a self made blank.  Gold flake in Alumilite resin.   Nancy, being a chemical engineer in training, enjoys the making of custom blanks.  We are setting ourselves up with pressure and vacuum pots so we can provide high quality blanks and pens.

This spalted crab apple pen is another special wood we offer, Ryan grew up with many crab apples in the back yard this is from the stump of one of the apple trees.

This purchased blue blank is currently our top seller.

How quickly we collect the blanks.  

And more blanks.

And future blanks, in this case we have a Texas pecan and osage orange.  

Here is more blanks available.  Special for us is Teak from the 1960's India, sadly all the old growth is now gone so this is rare.  We have taken to labeling our woods so zoom in and read more of our 2020 stock.
