Elegant Cholla Cactus Rollerball Pen
The Wooden Quill is pleased to present an elegant writing instrument that will easily become your everyday pen of choice. Crafted from a Cholla Cactus skeleton harvested in Arizona by a licensed harvester. The barrel is created from a blank the we refer to as "Rescued Wood". Scraps and cutoffs that would normally end up in the trash or the landfill are "rescued" by the casting process. Each skeleton is cast in an eco-friendly resin that was colored to represent turquoise. The pen style is a Sierra and the plating is Chrome and Gun Metal with classic detail in the decorative band. The pen comes with a gel rollerball blank ink cartridge. Refills are available at any office supply store. The pen is finished to a high gloss and protected by Carnauba Wax for years of service. This pen may have some minor dimples where the resin meets the wood. _______________________________________________________________________ Pen Info - Each pen is created by me on a lathe - Each pen blank was designed and created by me - Pictures are of the pen you will actually be receiving - These pens are one of a kind writing instruments with the highest quality hardware - Free shipping in the US - Uses a standard "Parker" style refill available at any stationary supply store - Money back (If you don't like the pen send it back for a full refund) _______________________________________________________________________

For Koa And Crystal Wedding Toasting Flutes1.7Were it possible to give this Maker Zero stars I would.
I ordered and paid for these Toasting Flutes in good faith for my sisters wedding in Hawaii as a decor focal point, and as a precious keepsake for her and her Fiance.
After submitting the information to the Maker to be engraved on the Flutes, which should have been the Bride and Grooms names as well as the date, the Maker misspelled their names in a message to me. I corrected this to him as is documented in another message. In fact, I corrected him twice because of this and actually verified a third time that he check the spelling prior to engraving to ensure the names were spelled correctly. He confirmed in a message to me that he checked the spelling.
Well, the flutes arrived today- with BOTH names misspelled. Unbelievable. The wedding is in a week, and I have no way to find a replacement at this point.
I am not some crazy customer venting-I have documentation of every message I have had with this Maker.
Not that the spelling would have even mattered after all, because In addition, upon receipt one of the flute wood bases was completely broken because of the way he packed it for shipping. There was literally NO padding, nor padded wrapping of the flutes in the big usps box. No padding sitting on top or bottom of the flutes. Of course they are going to break! What kind of craftsman who takes pride in his work, would ship a precious item in this shoddy fashion? They wouldn't of course- Do not order from this Maker.-Disappointed and Disgusted

For beer tap made out of wood or metal5.0Even though I was not certain as to what I wanted from Mike, he showed me the options and guided me through the woodworking process. Mike sent me pictures of the project's progress, was very communicative, finished on time, and shipped the final product securely. The final outcome exceeded my expectations and made my friends (recipients of Mike's work) very happy.
I would work with Mike again and recommend him to friends. - JW

For Wedding Bride And Groom Toasting Flutes - Walnut Stems5.0Mike was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. He was able to make the toasting flutes with Koa wood at my request to match the grooms' rings & love for Koa wood. He was also able to make a cake & knife server set using the Koa wood. My friends received many compliments on the uniqueness and quality craftmanship of their flutes & server set. If I could post photos from the wedding photographer, I would! I recommend Mike and would work with him again!
