What's New:
7/29/11 Look for some very interesting art prints coming soon. Some will be mine based on pictures of my work, others will belong to other artists that I find very interesting.
 
3/15/11 In honor of St. Patrick's day I've added a piece of Irish Bog Oak in the raw to the listings. Check out Celticworks III for the piece. And as temps warm up I'm looking to get back in the shop to make some stunning new pens. I have a lot of fresh ideas and have been gathering materials over the winter to bring them to reality. Keep a look out and you'll see them here first.
 
11/27/10 Added Cuff Links to the Jewelworks and Celticworks tabs. More to come as I get some shop time. SE Asia and seeing my in-laws was great.
 
10/20/10 I will be wheels up in 9 days, going to SE Asia for 2 weeks on business. I will not be able to ship any orders during that time, so please bear with me until my return. I will be answering emails as usual. 
 
10/12/10 Have a look at the new Jewelworks page!!!! It's just a beginning.
 
10/6/10 It's been too long since I really updated the site, but I added some pens to the Executive Penworks section. Also posted the first School Colors Pen that I've made, and it isn't even Clemson's colors!!! Look for Jewelworks to be added in the next week as I start making glass jewelry and other glass items.
 
3/16/10 It's been a while. What with record snow falls and digging out, being an indentured servant to my wife in her remodeling quest, and what not I haven't had a chance to get into my shop in nearly 4 months. I'm hoping that will come to an end soon. In the mean time I'm happy to finally place prices on the limited edition pens and more details as to why they are limited editions. Also, look for something new and hopefully very unique in the near future as I try out a few new media and bring some jewelry to the site as well.
 
10/27/09 My pens were presented to the Honorable George Schultz and the Honorable Henry Kissinger for their participation in the 25th Anniversary dinner of the US-ASEAN Business Council. See the pic and video at the bottom of the FAQ.
 
9/18/09 All updated, including some great items for Charity (Breast Cancer Research) and finally a pen made from Irish Bog Yew (very hard to come by).
 
9/2/09 Been away for a while but have some interesting things on the way and some new pens to add over the next couple days. Don't forget to check out the pens on Slender pens which are all on sale.
 
6/30/09 All updated with everything I have at the moment. I've reformatted the descriptions so they are easy to glance through, and removed all duplicate entries to prevent confusion. I have another great style that will be showing up shortly and I'll be making more of the Click soon also. 
 
6/14/09 It's been a hectic month for me at the day job, but I've finally finished some new pieces. Look for them in the next couple days in all categories.
 
Also, Coming Soon, Irish Bog Yew. This is the hardest stuff to get a hold of and I've finally located several good sized pieces to work with.

Better Pictures Pending
 
The Mobile
Platinum Series 
American Line
Material: Chittum Burl (American Smoke Tree Root Burl)
Hardware: Platinum and Black Titanium plating
Refill: International style ink cartridge or ink pump (supplied)
Length: 5.5 inches capped
Thickness: .6 inches
Limited Edition #: 0001
 
Chittum Burl, also know as American Smoke Tree Root Burl, is one of the hardest American burls to obtain. The reason is that while the tree is found throughout the country, only in certain areas of mainly Alabama do the conditions allow for this wood to produce the amazing figure seen in these pieces. The root burls are formed only when the root in confined in limestone formations and must be chiseled or blasted out (can we say Dynamite?). Due to these means of getting the burl out of the ground, it is not commonly seen. I have only been able to get THREE pieces. This particular piece has some amazing curl that doesn't show up well in the pictures, the next pen I make will have eye clusters in it.
 
The Mobile - $500
 

 

 
The Cabo San Lucas
Platinum Series 
South American Line
Material: Cocobolo Burl
Hardware: Platinum and Black Titanium plating
Refill: International style ink cartridge or ink pump (supplied)
Length: 5.25 inches capped
Thickness: .6 inches
Limited Edition #: 0002
 
By far, one of the rarest burls in the world. Many woodworkers have gone so far as to say that it doesn't exist. With many people selling Cocobolo with knots and even Honduras Rosewood Burl as Cococbolo Burl its not hard to see why people are skeptical. But this is actually Burl cut from a Cocobolo tree, and I actually know who cut the burl. While extremely rare, I have been able to get 3 pieces of this amazing wood. I looked for nearly 3 years before finding this limited supply and I have no idea when I might find the next piece.
 
The Cabo San Lucas - $350
 

 

 
The Goryshche
Rose Series
Skinz Line
Named for a Russian Dragon
 
Material: 10,000 year old Siberian Mammoth Ivory
Hardware: Rose Gold and Black Titanium plating
Refill: Parker style
Length: 4.875 inches
Thickness: .5 inches
Limited Edition #: 0003
 
Finding pieces of Mammoth Ivory large enough to make even this small pen from is difficult. Usually when you find larger pieces of Mammoth they are collectors items unto themselves with prices that would make you think I had a typo. I got lucky and received a "large" piece in a batch that I purchased for jewelry and inlay work and was able to make this one small pen. When and if I can find another piece this size is anyone's guess. 
 
The Goryshche - $300
 


The Gaasyendietha
 Chromium Series
Skinz Line
Named for the Meteor Dragon of Seneca Indian Lore.
 
Material: Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake Skin
Hardware: Chrome plating
Refill: International style ink cartridges or ink pump (provided)
Length: 5.25 inches capped
Thickness: .6 inches
Limited Edition #: 0004
 
The Gaasyendietha Fountain Pen - $200
SOLD!!!

Just realized I didn't explain why this is in the limited editions. I've made Diamondback rattlesnake pens before and will again I'm sure, but to the best of my knowledge (and everyone in the business that I've shown it to) this is the only pen made from EASTERN Diamondback Rattlesnake skin, the others I've made and seen from others have all been Western Diamondback. I have no idea if and when I'll find another piece of skin to have cast for a pen, so for now it's one of a kind.
