From our wood shop located in the beautiful Western North Carolina mountain town of Brasstown, we have created a variety of hand crafted wooden products. We try to utilize local salvaged wood, from windfall trees, other wood shop projects, or recently cut wood that would normally go into a landfill.

Rhodium Precious Metal Pen
This custom hand-turned pen is plated with Rhodium, a member of the Platinum Group of precious metals. The wood is Cocobolo, which is a tropical wood that is very hard and has a hand rubbed lacquer finish, which makes it durable and long lasting. The pen will get darker with use from the natural oils from the skin that will make it more beautiful with time. This pen can be refilled by using a Cross refill that can be purchased at most office supply stores for as little as $3.95 for a two pack.
The fine hand crafted pen will make a great gift or impress your colleagues. It comes in a pen boat for easy wrapping and protection and can be purchased from my web-site jaybees-crafts.com. If you have any questions, please let us know.
I have started several bowls this past weekend. I have started another maple brandy snifter shaped bowl and hope it turns out. I am going to let them dry more than the others in the past..... I will keep you updated on the progress......
Let me know your thoughts and any new techniques on turning you would like to share.
