A Finished Pen Order
Jul 28^th, 2014 at 8:54am

Just finished this custom pen order. They are a bolt-action pens with a gun metal and rose gold metal finish. The wood is oak from one of the oak trees at our high school that was destroyed by the May 22, 2011 tornado that hit Joplin. The customer lives in Stanton Island NY. He said he was going to be giving them to some active duty soldiers that he was going to be taking on a hunting trip. A fellow artist in our area, Larry Glaze, (Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

) gave one of my pens to this man as a gift. He liked it so much he contacted me to place an order. When we first started talking he wanted to order 6 pens. By the time he had decided on the style, he was up to 10 Grin

Larry is definitely one of those friends you like to have. Be sure and check out his website. He does some amazing stuff with antlers.

Those a a popular style in my neck of the woods too. I get many small orders that turn into repeat orders. Fun to make and helps offset the vortex drain on the pocket book. I now have mini, regular bolt action, and now magnum. lots of fun.
