New pens
A pen and a tiny vase
I really like the diversity of wood turning. One moment you making an other pen and suddenly you find yourself turning tiny dolls-house vases.
A fountain pen made of laburnum. I made this one together with the person who received it. We turned it together and put the pieces together. It was a very special experience for the both of us.
A little vase made from yew. It’s really tiny since it was made to fit into a dolls-house.
Graduation presents
I think my daughters really like a dad with a hobby, because they ask me on a regular basis to make pens for them. Like my youngest daughter did. She had a project group at school and the three of them worked very closely for about four months. So when the project was done and they graduated, she asked me to make her team members each a pen.
A fountain pen made of chestnut.
And a pen made of letter wood.
Dutch apple wood
Exotic and tropical woods are great to work with, but I also love to work with native Dutch wood. Like apple wood. It’s very light with very subtle wood grain which give the pen just that little bit extra.
Double centre band
A red acrylic pen with a double centre-band. This centre-band is also available in stock now.
Busy week
Don’t you just love the summer? Long days, good light and thus enough time to make pens. And that’s exactly what I did this week.
Two different pens made of laburnum.
An red acrylic pen and a yew pen.
All pens together and a picture of the different pen tips in stock. If you want any of these colours used on you pen, please let me know when you order a pen. Left to right: black chrome, chrome, gun metal, gold and cupper.
