Euro Rod

This pen set is made from Euro rod (no longer available). It is a pen/pencil set with titiaum finish. I also had to custom make the holder to hold the pens because they were made larger at the base for easy grip. The case is maple and walnut.

John Deere strips

This custom made pen was for a John Deere lover. It took some time but I finally found a green and yellow inlace that were about the right colors. Accent it with the titanium finish and I think it works well. Too bad I no longer work at a John Deere Dealership.

Cotton Candy

These pens were made from inclace, called cotton candy. I put some fancy turnings into the front one. That was difficult so it will cost more to have that design done.
