About this Product
Are you looking for a perfect gift that is handcrafted or are you looking for a custom pen for yourself? Then this hand cast and 3D printed honeycomb "Zen" style rollerball pen is just for you. It is perfect for using it daily at the office or just showing off to your friends and coworkers. This beautiful pen is also a great conversation starter or can be used as a way to say thank you, happy birthday, happy anniversary, happy retirement, happy boss' day or a just because gift.
How it's made:
This custom handmade pen, like all my other pens, was personally handcrafted by me in my woodshop. These are not mass produced pens and each one is handcrafted by myself so you are getting a craftsman's touch and the love of their craft with each pen. Each pen I craft has subtle differences making it a truly one of a kind pen. First, I harvest a dead cholla cactus for its skeleton, dry them out, and cast them into a usable pen blank with alumilite resin. I use the created blank and match it with complimentary pen components. Second, I drill the cast blank to prep it for turning. Third, it is meticulously turned down with my lathe to fit the Zen pen components taking proper care that it transitions to the pen hardware perfectly. Finally, a gloss finish is applied and the pen is wet polished to a very high gloss. The polish gives the pen a lot of depth and really brings out the color. All of my pens have already been produced by me so you know you will be getting the pen pictured in the listing. This eliminates the guess work on how it will look like once made and my pens are ready to ship without long waiting times.

Meet the Maker
Hello, welcome to my shop. My name is Michael and I am from Lubbock, Texas. I am a father to 3 amazing boys and a husband to a beautiful wife. I am a graduate of Eastern New Mexico University and have deep roots in both Texas and New Mexico. There is no other place I would rather live than the Llano Estacado region of the United States.
In search of a hobby, I dabbled in woodworking in 2012 as an escape from my day to day full time job. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a passion. Now I just try and find time to do it between all the activities associated with family life. Woodworking gives me a creative outlet that allows me to focus on art and functional pieces.
I source materials from all over the world and use mediums such as wood, resins, and plastics. On occasion, I get to mix these mediums together in a piece.
I welcome special orders and I am always open to working with you in order to come up with that special "something."
