Pens and Ornaments For Sale Creating custom handmade pens is one of the most enjoyable aspects of woodturning. The pen kits I use are of the highest quality and use standard ink refills available at any office supply store. I create pens using blanks I cut from wood collected here in North Texas, but I also use more exotic woods from South America and Africa. My pens are turned to precise dimensions and are sanded glass-smooth before receiving a tough shellac finish. Some woods like Purpleheart will darken naturally with age, others like Cocobolo will retain their original coloration for much longer. Some of my most beatiful pens are made from a Spalted Ash root ball I collected myself near Hutchins, Texas. My inventory of pens is always changing so check back often to see what I have on hand. If you would like a pen not listed on this page but shown on the Archive page, send me an email and I'll make one for you. I also enjoy making Christmas tree ornaments on the lathe. I make small acorn birdhouse ornaments and hollow ball-type ornaments with finials and icicles.   Cl American Ballpoint Twist Pen Cocobolo $55.00   Cl American Ballpoint Twist Pen Purpleheart $55.00   Retro Ballpoint Twist Pen Spalted Ash Root $45.00 Retro Ballpoint Twist Pen Purpleheart $45.00   Retro Ballpoint Twist Pen Cocobolo $45.00   Ornament Acorn Birdhouse Ash and Cocobolo $45.00
