    Apparently we don't charge enough for the ones we make!

    Just a few of the ones we've made. We can also do fountain and click top as well as cushion grip. If you can think of a wood or acrylic color chances are we can get it. Prices are typically $25/pen or pencil ($45/set or $100 for a desk set that includes the pen, pencil, letter opener and magnifying glass all from the same chunk of wood). Some acrylics are more because of the time/labor involved (i.e. the first pictured would be $35 because of the two hours and the toll it takes on the tools.

    My son (14 years old) is the main character in this play and he uses the profits for his college fund.

    Fantastic pen. I got the special edition orange more than a decade ago and use it every day at work (though I admit I do much more work on the computer).
