Ken’s Pens
We live in a “mass produced” world. A person can enter a store and find on it’s shelves almost anything one desires. In most cases the item chosen has been produced on a large scale. Designers envision a product and engineers design the equipment to make the product come to life. Most often, they are reflections of the designers thoughts – but they are NOT your thoughts.
I got to thinking that I could walk into any store and buy a “stick pen” for less than a dollar. They write well enough and that’s about it. Once the ink runs out, you toss it and pull out another one.
It started out as a hobby…turning a few pieces of wood on the lathe. I would fashion the wood in the shape of a pen. Then, finishing with various techniques of sanding and polishing, it turned into my passion. I loved the look and feel of these “writing instruments” and so did many others.
By watching and learning new ways of personalizing a pen, I realized that I could crate something that would express an emotion, passion or even evoke a collection of memories to be shared with others.
That is why I made my first Cast Pen a military themed pen. I proudly served 22 1/2 years in the United States Military. I have mostly fond memories of my service time – it seems the bad memories fade with time.
I feel a great sense of pride when I use my pens. Few, if any, share my exact experience – or yours!
In the slide presentation above, I have included a few photos of some of the pens I have produced. I do not limit myself to military themes, so….
