Meet The Maker
WHO ARE YOU, WHERE ARE YOU FROM, & WHAT DO YOU DO?
Originally from Texas, retired from the army and Government. Needed a hobby and started turning pens, and here we are at the Hand Made Fair.
DESCRIBE YOUR PROCESS.
I use bulk wood, old or new, cut it to the size of the pen. Using a lath, I cut away the excess, sand, polish and using various pen kits I create the pens. All the kits are high quality writing pens. Each one is a unique, one-of-a-kind pens. I have three types, ball point, fountain pens and roller ball.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
It’s fun to create different colors using acrylics and incorporating “stuff” i.e. wasp nest, wood or watch parts into the pen.
FUN FACT ABOUT YOU.
Retired with a new hobby, job.
FAVORITE THING ABOUT DOWNTOWN AUGUSTA.
Downtown Augusta. Always different but there is a sameness, very pleasant to window shop. And Groucho’s, delicious sandwiches.
WHY DO YOU LOVE TO DESIGN, CREATE + MAKE?

WHAT IS ONE PIECE OF ADVICE YOU WOULD SHARE WITH OTHER ARTISTS + MAKERS?
