All of the
pens on this page use the
Pilot G2 gel
(or) Schmidt ceramic
refills.
These pens have Platinum
fittings(specifically this Rhodium is the
hardest member of the Platinum family of metals)
They are two-piece pens and
the cap is "posting", meaning that it screws on both ends, to prevent
loss of the cap. The "screw type" of posting is definitely superior to the
"friction" press-on type of posting pens that you may see on some other
websites. I found out early on that the friction caps eventually
wear out,so I will not craft them just to save a few dollars. A
pen of this quality typically
sells for $120 or more elsewhere! My price
is only
$60
unless indicated otherwise.
These are all upgradeable to fountain pens with solid 14k -585 nibs! See link at the bottom of this page to add the upgrade kit.

Platinum Gel/Rollerball in Bethlehem Holy Land Olive Wood ITEM #86 ($65)Add to CCNow Cart
Bethlehem Olive Wood is the most
beautiful wood I
have ever worked with.
Each
pen is more striking and
figured
than the one before.
Includes
a certificate of
authentication
that the wood came from
prunings
from trees in Bethlehem
(no trees were damaged)
- The price of the Bethlehem Olive wood pens is $65.
For
Bethlehem Olive Wood, due to the tremendous grain activity - if you
want engraving,
I recommend engraving the maple gift box instead of the pen itself.
The following pens are $75, are dyed, double-dyed, spalted, and/or
stabilized woods, and also include the free maple gift box.
Sale! All of the stabilized, spalted woods and burls
are now only $65

Custom "Tru-Stone" Rollerballs & Fountain Pens
I have turned a wide variety of
materials over the past ten years while crafting my high quality
writing instruments, and have always sought to find something that was
unique, beautiful, workable on the lathe, and highly collectible by pen
lovers everywhere. I have been able to achieve this through
using natural materials like deer antler and exotic woods like
Bethlehem olive wood. In my search I have also turned acrylics
and celluloids. I am now introducing a new manmade
high-end material, that when paired with my Platinum fittings and
free maple wood boxes makes for a spectacular presentation! The
material is called "Tru-Stone" and it is more difficult than wood and
antler to turn, but still possible with patience and expertise. "Tru
Stone" is manufactured by pulverizing
semi-precious stones into fine particles, combining them with other
natural pigments and materials then reforming them under heat and
pressure. The resulting material looks almost exactly like
marble and has a good heft to it, without being heavy like actual
marble would be. It is expensive to purchase and takes almost
twice as much time to turn as most exotic hardwoods, so I have priced
these a bit higher, at $85. You will see this material
being used in pens elsewhere on the internet that sell for up to
$145.00, so I believe my price is reasonable and a good value.
Remember, all my rollerballs and fountain pens have Platinum
fittings. That's the absolute best you can buy!
Please
compare before you buy - and don't settle for less.

The
following
pens are crafted from CELLULOID, a very popular manmade material that has been used since
the 1930's to craft some of the
finest pens in the world
that sell for hundreds of
dollars each! This material
is more difficult to work with
than any wood, but the finished
pen has a mirror-like finish, a
brilliant array of colors,
and a translucent,
iridescent quality.
The rollerballs use the Pilot G2 gel refills (or) Zebra "Orbitz" Archival, Acid-free Gel ink refills. Refills for both types are readily available in your choice of point sizes and ink colors from office supply stores, drugstores, and many other retailers.

New for June 2009!
The
pen
shown below combines the best of both worlds - the wonderful writing
properties of
the Gel ink cartridge, with the streamlined one piece body that allows
one handed operation. These are a bit slimmer than my
"Platinum Click Mechanism Gel Ink Pens" if you are looking for
something that easily fits in a pocket and is comfortable in even the
smallest hands.
There is no cap to remove, just twist the cap clockwise and the Gel ink tip is ready to write. This pen uses the "Parker®" type of Gel ink refill (or any Parker® rollerball refill) and writes just as smoothly as my Gel/Rollerball pens that use the "Pilot G2®" Gel ink refills. As always, the exterior plated parts are Platinum - I will settle for nothing less! The price of this pen in Cocobolo wood is $55.00 Note: These pens are not upgradeable to fountain pens.

Mopani, Birdseye Maple, Tambootie, Cardinalwood, Figured Mesquite, Desert Ironwood. Tulip Poplar, or Forest Green Dymondwood.

Free
solid maple case
shown below
(you will see similar cases as a $10.00-$18.00 option on other websites)
is included with all my CUSTOM WOOD PENS for a classy
gift
presentation. No cheap plastic boxes here! Included in each
case is a wood
identification
card and refill instructions for the custom pen you have ordered.
Are you a serious pen collector who will
use only high quality fountain
pens? You may choose (and pay for) any of the
CUSTOM WOOD
PENS from this page then simply add the fountain pen tip
(rollerball upgrade kit)
listed
here. I'll replace the rollerball tip with the fountain pen tip. Tip
will ship "dry" so you will ink it for the first time! It's only
$65 additional, and includes a solid 14k "585"
medium nib, a bulk ink pump, and starter
"international" type
cartridge. Extra
cartridges are
available
at Staples Office Supply as "Allwrite #8004-32"
These solid 14k nibs simply glide
over the page with no pressure, and are vastly superior to cheaper
"Iridium tipped" steel nibs. They are hand made by a German
manufacturer who makes 80% of the 14k nibs used by the major pen
manufacturers. The nib is the most important part of a fountain
pen,
so it pays to get the very best!
Need Laser Engraving?
First, be sure to allow one week for
engraving - that's the time it takes the engraving service after I
craft the pen.
It's only $10.00 additional per pen. Engraving shows up best on light colored woods like the birdseye maple example shown below, or cardinalwood, deer antler, teak or pernambuco. It will not show up as well on dark woods like cocobolo, Texas ebony, mopani, tambootie, or multi-colored Dymondwood, tru-stone or celluloid, and is not recommended! For best results on pens, please limit your text to one line of 14 characters maximum, including spaces. For boxes you may engrave up to two lines of text. Laser engraved items are not returnable.
