Caps!

Don’t want a clip?  Get a roll stop.  

I just received my order of custom clips.  Clean and classy.  Sterling silver or gold plated.  $35 each with your order. I’m very excited to be able to offer these. And the rest of my clips here.

Several items were donated for the Newton Pens Scholarship – go check it out to see if there’s anything there for you.  😉 Every penny made from these items will go directly into the scholarship account – which stands at…

Hey everybody! Sorry I’m late – was playing board games with the family.  🙂 According to   And #48 gets it! Congratulations to Daniel!

So it’s no secret to anybody who knows me. I like green. I have 6 or 7 green shirts I wear to school regularly, and a green pen I made myself, along with a couple of green pencils. A while…

Hi Everybody, I just want to say thanks for all of the participation in the so far – and remember there’s only three more days for the current one.  Two pens, one winner! I also want to announce that I’m…

It’s been a long time coming, but I finally did it. I revamped most of the website.  The ordering process is a bit different, as is the layout of the model lineup.  I spent some time today splitting up the…

And the winner is… #36!!! Congrats to Danny!!

I took my art club on a field trip today and b/c of the funky rainy wet nasty weather the plans sort of changed around a bit on us – so it turned into time in the shop, then an…

A member of the Arkansas Pen Club asked me to make a stand for him.  He gave me his pen to figure dimensions for the tulip.  I’ve never considered myself much of a woodworker, but this morning I cut a…

Ever drop a nib?  Bend it to uselessness?  Don’t toss it.  Send it on back and I should be able to fix it up for you.  It may not look as nice as it did when new, but it will…

Here you can see the various parts of a pen and the names for each part. This may help when we’re talking about your pen. The nipple on the back of the housing is the part that the converter fits…

Here’s the next pen up.   I can’t believe I didn’t mention before – if you win the and this pen doesn’t strike your fancy, you can have a custom made up just for you.  😉 It’s a slim 45…

#4 got it!  Congrats to whoever is #4!!  Yeeha!  You get a pen and a kid gets some help going to college!  Thanks!!   That’s right – I haven’t even made it yet.  🙂  The section is black phenolic resin,…

My friend Jere is just having too much fun making these boxes for me. Check it out.  One that pulls apart in the middle and one suede lined with a glass top for display of your treasured pens.  🙂

I won’t be going to the Dallas Pen Show this year, but if you can, then you should.  I had a blast last time and made some great contacts.  I can’t believe it’s already been a year though.  Being there…

I found some new resins to offer!  These are pretty cool, too. One is an ivory imitation — Extra charge – $45 – pricey but pretty. The other is phenollic resin – a material like you can find on another…

So far, on the few engravings I’ve made, I’ve been using my old printmaking burins.  Probably not anywhere near the best tools for the job, but they work.  And when all you have is all you have, you make due. …

I can’t believe how lucky I am to be friends with such an awesome carpenter.  This guy just loves doing what he does.  I ask him to make me pen boxes and he gives me THESE!!

Every now and then somebody sends me a pen with a broken part to see if I can fix or make a new part. Here’s an Ancora that I was sent.  Customer asked if I could make an entire new…

The first four boxes are here!  And I’m so excited!   🙂 (and they’re free with a pen order) The insides of the boxes are not lined, but your pen will be in one of my wife’s cloth wraps, so…

I struck a deal with a friend of mine here in town – I’ve got custom boxes! I’m very excited about this. This one is mine – just a rough prototype – but hopefully you’ll get an idea. We’re also…

August 16th update And #15 gets it!  Yaaay!! Congrats!!   It’s that time again – and here’s the newest pen for the .  It’s made from Golden Brown acrylic, and comes with a #8, 18k gold nib.  Full disclosure –…

Finally made a pen to take the #8 nib.  It’s big.  I should be able to offer this nib in the medium sizes up to the larger size pens.  I’ll have to make a medium to be sure it will…

Hi Pen Peeps! I’ve been using these schedule 40 PVC tubes to ship my pens in since they’re pretty much indestructible.  You could run one of these over with a truck and it would be fine.  In fact, I rolled…

I’ve got a proper logo developed thanks to some help from one of my fantastic customers. This is the image that will go on my nibs from now on.  🙂     I’ve also added a new page under the…

Engraving!  This is my first piece, practice, but it was so much fun!  Can’t wait to do more. This is from a picture of a bonsai tree I found on the net. I used a couple of different types of…

#9 got it! Congrats! And thanks to everybody SO MUCH for participating. This scholarship is set to reach more kids than the first. Hopefully every year I’ll be able to continue increasing the number of people helped with this money.
