Theme clips
Straight clips on a pen can be very boring and not very special. Thankfully I now have theme clips. They come in all shapes and sizes. Like the medical clip on the photo below. But for every hobby of line of work there’s a special clip. For the possibilities, head over to
Pen Parts and take a look. I started with the medical-clip.
The left pen is made of redwood burl. The other one is made of yew.
Also there’s a possibility to order a pen set. A rollerball and a fountain pen, who can be made in any wood type you desire. Note that the elite fountain pen is a little bit different than the fountain pen sold on its own.
On the left you’ll seet he fountain pen from the set and on the right the fountain pen sold separately.
A box full of wood
Sometimes, when you have a piece of wood, it’s difficult to recognize which kind of wood it is. Some woods look suspiciously the same and when you don’t have anything to compare it with, it’s hard to know for sure. That’s why I now have something to make that a bit easier: a box with fifty kinds of wood. (And even the box is beautiful!)

New work
A customary asked me to make him a special pen, because it’s difficult for him to hold a pen.
It’s made of iron Wood, with a small bit of yew in between.
I also made a padouk letter opener this week.
Boy makes a pen
I found this clip on Youtube. It inspired me to make a keyring the same way.
This is the keyring I made after seeing the video.
It’s made of yew (the light wood) and padouk (the dark wood).
Cleaning and reorganizing
After making a pen my workshop is always dusty.Wood-dust and wood-chips everywhere. So it was time to make the garage dust free again, but during the cleaning, I couldn’t resist and made something. Not only a pen, but also a refilable pencil.
The pencil is made of American cherry.
And the pen is made of laburnum.
