Marshall Woodworks

When I was young, I visited my uncle in Kentucky. He showed me how he made toys on his great grandfather's homemade wood lathe.

 

I thought it was magic. Taking a simple piece of wood and turning it, literally, into a baseball bat or the leg of a chair seemed like the greatest job ever.

 

Years later when my daughters were born, I made them toys as well as pens and pencils. I was hooked. It wasn't long before every friend, neighbor, and family member was knee-deep in handcrafted writing instruments. Eventually I started getting requests and, before I knew it, I was in business.

 

Just as my family's old lathe was built to last, so are my pens. They are made with the passion and care of generations gone by in a shop dedicated to the craft. The body of every pen is cut, sized, drilled, and turned by hand. After that, I finish and polish everything, and hand assemble. Each pen is unique, and writes its own story.

 

I hope you enjoy using them as much as I enjoy making them.
