"Let me build you a dream"
Fine woodworker for over 30 years.
Influenced early in life by the craftsmanship and resourcefulness of my Father, my Grandfather and a close neighbor-master-craftsman and access to many tools, it didn’t take long to be bitten by the woodworking bug. I’ve enjoyed challenges in many different aspects of woodworking including creative inlay, abrasive sculpturing, and woodturning, items big and small, working with woods literally from all parts of the world.
Have you ever found or experienced something/anything in life that just makes you say "that's so me!"? That is what wood does for me. I see a chunk of wood; I see what it can be. Others may see firewood. I see the intricate beauty, color, grain, smell, it's life story. I see it's endless possibilities and what it can be!
Hand in hand, I also love to re-use and re-purpose items into new life. Make use of instead of disposing of!!! Something doubly special happens when you take something with a story or history, save it from the landfill or dump, and re-purpose it. You honor the history, you honor who originally designed it, created it, what it was made for, and give it a whole new story with new life and purpose that adds to all that priceless history.
Some of the “strangest” items I’ve been asked to make include wooden guitar picks, some with inlaid designs. I’ve enjoyed the creativity and challenges found in the functional art form of high-end wooden pen turning; the complexity in custom segmented wooden pens of unlimited uniqueness. Some of my work has even been published in Pen World International. Other Entrepreneurial interests landed me a deal making marionettes for Knott’s Berry Farm toy store as early as middle school. One theme rings clear in all the varied challenges I’ve tackled – If you can dream it, I can make it!
Always open to chat if you have ideas, thoughts, questions etc. I'm personally very guilty of creating something "just because I can", so don't worry if you think your idea may not make the best of sense!

For Steampunk Pen In Cocobolo And Antique Pewter And CopperThis Cocobolo Steampunk pen is absolutely first-rate! The metallic components are exquisite and super fun, though the wood and Randy's craftsmanship are definitely the stars of the show. Randy sent updates (with pictures!) throughout his creation process, and I had the pen in my hands a week before the original delivery estimate. I wouldn't hesitate to shop with Randy again, and I can't recommend him enough!

For Bolt Action 30 Caliber Pen In Gun Metal Gray And CocoboloWow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow ! ! ! If I could give a hundred stars for every aspect of this exchange I would. Randy went so very far in every way. I asked for a specific wood. He had his supplier get it for me. Randy created the very pen I so longed for. He kept in touch the entire time and did a remarkable job in crafting it. I am 100% thrilled with thhis transaction and definitely recommend him for any of his products.

For Perfect Pen With Stylus TipRandy made ordering easy, and made sure he was clear on the details before going to work. I was worried I would not get the pens before my wedding because of the short timeline, but he had the pens I ordered in record time.

For Perfect Pen With Stylus, Mix And Match. Red, Yellow, Or PurpleI stumbled upon Randy Pearson when I was looking for my brother a present and that is when I noticed Mr.Randy's pins. When I contacted Mr. Randy he was professional and the services was excellent the communication was clear and the final product looks amazing.
David Comfort
For Perfect Pen With Stylus TipFrom initial contact to delivery, communication and seeking to understand were excellent. Very easy to work with. Received the pen in the mail, well packaged and protected. The first impression after removing the packing material was, WOW! The description and photos were top notch, but do not do credit to the actual item. Workmanship, colors shined, fit and finish are perfect. Exactly what I had in mind when the process started. Thank you Sir.

Randy asked excellent questions to understand the scope and details of the request, communicated rapidly and in the end proposed options.
