Much of the inspiration for his work stems from his love of the outdoors and results in both a technical understanding of detailed species, characteristics, and science of his products balanced with an immense reverence for the beauty and mystery of nature. Look for the fine details and nuances to appreciate the imperfections and inconsistencies that make natural products so wonderful and unique. Enjoy these products and please take the opportunity to learn about your new and useful work of art.

For Classic Custom Built Wooden Fountain Pen (Choose The Wood You Like) - Free ShippingGreat experience working with Brian. He was able to make a gift for me with the tight turnaround I needed. Thank you!

For Unique Wood Dip PenVery nice experience. He customized it exactly as I'd hoped he would. It has now become my favorite pen out of many others.

For ChessboardLack of effective communication and serious change to plans that wasn't approved. Board arrived in 3 pieces. Measuring, the board is almost an inch out of square, the parts in one section look thrown together and do not align as in the plans and are all flush with the lower plane rather than alternating between the lower plane and the raised trim. I am glad that I decided to have a second board made by a different artist shortly after commissioning this one.
