Artist Statement

I am a woodturner. All my pens use the highest quality components with fine detailing on metal parts. Each pen blank is selected for its beauty and character and then prepared by hand and turned on a wood lathe. Once the desired shape is achieved, the wood blank is finished with CA or Aussie Oil for a durable finish; acrylic blanks are sanded and polished with Micro Mesh. The pen blanks are each buffered to a lustrous sheen and assembled with the utmost care and attention to detail. The same care is used to produce other items such as wine bottle stoppers, letter openers, keychains, cell phone accessories, wedding cake sets, bottle openers, crochet hook sets, seam rippers, birdhouse ornaments, beer tap handles, etc.
