Glock Guy Woodwerkz
The Pens listed for sale are quality handcrafted products. They are not mass produced or produced in a sweat shop. The pen mechanisms are purchased in kit form. A blank is carefully selected to highlight the colors and functions of the pen being assembled. Each pen blank is meticulously hand turned on a lathe to tight tolerances then assembled to the final product. These are quality writing instruments. You will feel the quality and smoothness in writing the moment you pick it up and use it. These pens are refillable with standard ink refills (available here if you can't find locally) and will last a lifetime.
Yes, they are more expensive than a mass produced plastic pen.
Here's why:
1. Handmade is slow - made and assembled one at a time.
2. Handmade artists attempt to pay themselves a living wage.
3. Artisans have spent years honing their processes.
4. Artisans have made huge investments in equipment needed to produce their craft.
5. Handmade means higher quality components and attention to detail.
6. Buying handmade supports the Artisan, not a foreign corporation.
7. Each customers satisfaction is integral to the artisans future sales and success.
CUSTOM PENS ARE AVAILABLE
I will work with you on choosing a pen type and style that fits your needs, then match it to either a wood or acrylic blank of your choosing. Custom pens may take a little longer to produce if I need to order components.
