satisfied customers of PenDesigns.com
"I have bought 2 dozen pens from Roger and every one of them is a delight. Roger is ever willing to try out new ideas and work together through the many eMails back and forth with me to achieve the desired results - simply amazing pens are the outcome. You may have seen some of the pens in his gallery of custom pens. Just to think that I started with one single order to try out Roger's workmanship." - YY Kwok, Singapore.
"A finely-crafted, functional work of art,a pen by Roger Dismore is in another class from other wooden pens I have encountered. If you can bear to give one away, you will be proud of your gift." Krista Ravenscraft, Pen collector and aficionado, Saint Charles, ILL
"I have received many complements on the pens from my colleagues. It is difficult to find gifts with mass appeal. When you see the pens actually being used that is true testimony to the unique quality and appreciation of these custom pens." Many thanks, Nick G, Kings Park, NY
"Just received my pens and they are absolutely beautiful. I can tell the workmanship that went into each of them. I am already working on my ideas for a special custom pen and I am sure I will be purchasing more in the near future."

but a joy to write with.
You will love your Dismore pen."
John Pettitt, Madison, WI
"As a pen collector, I
have
purchased many of Roger's pens for myself as well as for friends and
family
members. I have found them to be extremely comfortable and can
withstand
lots of abuse and still look great. I will definitely be
purchasing
more as he continues to expand the selection of woods that he offers."
Your very pleased customer,Terri (Texas)
“These pens are
beautifully
hand crafted. They have a very comfortable weight and grip and
are
an excellent writing tool. I have purchased these pens for both
my
husband and myself.
I have also purchased them
a graduation gifts with laser engraving as well as gifts for family and
friends visiting from other countries. A gift that is genuinely
American
made”

"I have purchased
several
of these beautiful pens from Dismore Woodworks and have been very
pleased
with the quality, the workmanship and the beauty of the pens. What's
more,
I have enjoyed matching wood of the pen to either the personality of
recipient
or the decor of an office. Thank you, Dismore Woodworks, for
making
such an elegant and useful tool."
Claire, Arlington, Texas
"I received a Betheleham Olive Wood pen for Christmas. The workmanship is wonderful,the wood is unique and it weights well in my hand, which is very important as I am an accountant. My husband said that your pens would become a new tradition in our home! Truly a superior product" Judy, Colon, MI
Roger, "I just wanted to let you know that I received the pens and absolutely love them. They fit my hand perfectly and the balance is great. Look terrific too. I'll be buying more in the future as gifts."
Thanks, Lowell NORTH BETHESDA, MD
Roger,
"I stopped by your place of business earlier this week and purchased a roller ball of olive wood. It writes very well, fits perfectly in my hand and is an example of fine craftsmanship. The beautiful grain is an eye catcher. Before deciding to try one of your pens I checked out Mont Blanc,Cross,other pen turners and other commercially made pens. I feel I made the right choice as the M.B. & Cross were simply writing instruments that lacked individuality and other turned pens seemed to come up a bit short when compared to your quality."
Thanks,Steve Arlington,TX

"Roger, Received my pens yesterday and they're absolutely fantastic. Thanks for the constant email updates,you're a true professional.I'll be ordering several more pens very soon" Jerome, Henderson, NV
"Dear Roger,
I
received the pen you
hand-crafted for my brothers Christmas present. I must say, when I saw
it, I was without words. The texture, color and grain of the olive wood
is impressive and striking. To craft such a beautiful and fine
instrument as this by hand is beyond me. Your craftsmanship to turn
and hand make such a piece is nothing short of amazing ! I am MORE
than satisfied with it, and be assured, there will be more orders from
me. The engraved box is beautiful as well. Thank you sir, for a most
spectacular, fine crafted gift to give. I am so greatful.
Respectfully
yours,Dave , Texas
"I received my antler pen from roger today and what a WOW factor it has.........the craftsmanship is outstanding and and it is absolutley beautiful......It arrived in a wooden case that is also beautiful.........I wanted an unusual gift for my fiance and got everything I wanted through Roger..........I will be ordering more pens from him in the future.....keep up the good work........ ....Cindy, Wisconsin
"Hey Roger. I received the pen I ordered, and I wanted to say thanks for a job well done. The pen is beautiful and functions flawlessly. Not too many people can say that they have a pen made from wood that is 30,000 years old. Probably one of the more unique writing tools I've ever seen. The engraving on the maple display case looks great. Thanks again and keep up the good work." Dale, USAF Academy, Colorado
"I received the pen I
purchased, a gift
for my wife. It looks excellent. I have a few hand-crafted wood and
antler pens.
Your pen is very high quality. It is the best I have purchased and at a
reasonable price. I liked it so much that I am thinking about getting
one for
myself (rollerball pen)"
Dave D., TX
Roger, I want to thank you so very much for all your help with the deer antler pen order. My frantic call to you on the Thursday before Christmas was met with a positive and reassuring voice. My pens arrived overnite, and thus my Christmas gifts to husband and son-in-law were successes. Needless to say, working with other online sellers proved to be a disaster. My pens had been ordered elsewhere on line ,and when they didn't arrive in a timely manner my investigation turned up the fact that the pens were never ordered because they were out of stock. My check,however, had been cashed. Anyway, I know now where to shop for future merchandise. I thank you for your efforts at the very last minute. For those of you reading this testimonial.....Roger Dismore is the person you want to handle your transactions! Margie Spring,TX
Dear Roger, Thank you so much for gorgeous pen you made for my husband on Valentine's Day. The pen arrived just in time and he was so surprised. He absolutely loves it, carries it everywhere with him! It is so unique and beautiful. You do amazing work. Thank you again! Allison Raleigh, North Carolina
"Hi Roger, I just got my pen and it is truly beautiful....have never seen anything like it!!! It's going to be a birthday present and I can't wait to see the look on the recipient's face. I did my homework and you certainly are heads above the competition. Thanks so much and until next time.....God bless." Cheryl Austin,TX
Roger,I started my
day realizing that my original waterman pen that my wife and I
used to
sign our marriage certificate was broken which was sad
because I
loved to use the pen every day. Then I started
using Google to search for a replacement pen when I stumbled
upon
your site. After an email exchange and answering all my questions
on the
phone I ordered 2 pens from you. I can say without a doubt that
your pens
are of quality workmanship and when I sit in many meetings people are
always
asking to see the pens. From there I just provide them your
website to
order their own pen. Also, you are correct on how easy it is to get
replacements for your pens because I have to do that already because I
use them
so often. I will definately be back for more pens in the future.Thanks again for all your hard work.

Roger, I've owned a number of
good pens through my career, but the one you just crafted for
me in Texas Ebony excedes all expectations. The weight and grip
are perfect, as well as having a subtle panache. I can't wait for
people to ask me about it! Thanks for great work.

We recently purchased four pens to
give as company gifts to
Japanese business leaders as a memento of fine American craftsmanship.
The pens we received from Mr. Dismore were so phenomenal, artistic, and
beautifully hand crafted that we purchased eleven, not only for
our
prominent business guests, but for family members as gifts. Not
only
was the product far beyond expectations, but they were mailed promptly
and on-time...something quite unusual today.

As a pastor and author, I wanted to add a little flair to my signature. I sign my name a lot! LoL I thought the
Thomas Edison pen would add a
touch of distinction and class to my book signings. Such an unbelievably beautiful pen, and Roger is a
genius with wood! At my last
book signing, I got almost as many compliments on the pen as I did on the book! Jesse K. Eau Claire, WI
"I received the Dymondwood
pen, and it is just stunning! You do amazing work.
Even the box is
beautiful and such a nice touch. You can be sure I will be
passing
along your web-site
address. Thank you very much."

"Roger,
My first pen order for two Bethlehem rollerball pens were
gifts for my wife and a niece that is going off to college this august.
They love their pens and they are absolutely beautiful. It is the most
comfortable pen my wife has ever used. When we recieved these two pens,
I then ordered three more that same afternoon: Two Bethlehem
rollerballs, one for a nephew starting college in august, the other
goes to my grandaughter also starting college in august. I also ordered
an Ancient Kauri rollerball for myself. You E-mailed me letting me know
when the three pens would be shipped and all three would have your new
platinum rollerball parts. You were right Roger, We love these also,
and I personally love the gold accent even more. This new pen is
already my favorite, I am a Business Manager and probably have a pen in
my hand at least six hours every day, My wife and myself both buy
things via the internet, both personally and for work, and and your
personal touch via your E-mails, from the time our order was placed
until we recieved our pens, could not have been better, your service
goes right along with your wonderfull Craftsmanship. Thank you,
Bob, Moorpark, CA
P.S we will be getting more pens for gifts."
"Hi Roger,
I
have just received the 3 pens - Texas Ebony Ballpoint Pen, Kauri
Wood
Ballpoint Pen & Bethlehem Holy Land Olive Wood Rollerball
Pen from
my first order from you.I can tell the effort you put in from the packaging of the
pen. All
the pens come with your name cards & introduction to the wood
material which is the pen is carved in. Love my Olive wood pen most
because of the display of incredible grain patterns on it as per
your introduction of on your website. Looking forward to you having more new
materials online so that I will order from you again. Thanking
you for the effort made.Best regards, Patsy"

Dear Roger,
I would like to thank
you personally for the exemplary service you provided on my recent
order for a Bethlehem Olive Wood Ballpoint Pen. I ordered this
pen as
a gift for a friend. It arrived in perfect condition just a few
days
after placing my order. I received emails from you when you
received
my order and then again when you mailed out my order to me. Old
world
service and on the internet too. It is indeed rare in today's
world to
receive such personal service as you provide to your customers!
Now on
to the pen. It is absolutely stunning and I can not believe what
a
great value it was. The wood case that you include in the price
is a
wonderful bonus and looks elegant as well. I look forward
to treating
myself to one of your gorgeous writing instruments in the near
future.
Once again, congratulations on your fine craftsmanship and on your
terrific service.
Best Regards, Bernice

Dear Roger,
I
just wanted to let you know how happy I am with the tulipwood and
afzalea rollerballs. I converted the afzalea pen to the rollerball as I
have a number of fountain pens with nibs that suit me really well (I
like a fine or extra fine nib – mediums are too wide). The pens write
beautifully with the Pilot gel ink. I have gotten many questions and
compliments regarding these two pens and have passed your business card
on to several people. I admit to being hooked on your rollerballs now
and will soon order another one. I just wanted to say thanks.
