RANDY'S DESIGNER PENS - handmade, carved practical art!

Randy's Handmade Designer Pens!
Beautiful, artistic, useful and practical! All of these words describe the lovely pens that Randy handcrafts.

The Handcrafted designer pens, that Randy creates are made from a variety of exotic woods and acrylics. These are virtual works of art, each pen a masterpiece of swirls and lines. Look at the colors in the pens below - they are really neat! Randy says there are no two pens are alike. That is pretty cool. Each pen is a joy to behold and a prize to possess. The raw materials are hand-picked by Randy, and only the most unusual patterns and woodgrains are selected. These would make a great gift for the groom's men. Something that is in the wedding colors perhaps.
Randy was inspired when he visited a Woodworking Show in Denver. He watched a turner take a block of wood and within a number of minutes turned it into a Christmas ornament. From that moment it became an obsession to for him to at least try it. After a lot of practice on spindles, he has finally reached a point where all the mistakes, practice AND investment is finally giving him a lot of satisfaction! He's currently in his "Pen" phase. But there may be more to come. Check out his shop at the link below :)
