Devon pens - About us
I started wood turning after I inherited a Lathe from my Great Uncle. I still now, many years later, use some of the same tools and often think back to him using them.
I love making pens, they are each so individual and you never know quite what you will find inside each piece of wood. I use a wax finish on my pens, as I like to feel the texture of the wood.
Living on the edge of Dartmoor has inspired me and I try to source as much local wood as possible.
I was lucky enough to be invited to make the pens for the leaders table at the G7 summit in Cornwall. Each of the leaders attending had a presentation box with a fountain pen and ink included. The pens were made from recycled oak finger board from the South West Coast path.
