Welcome to Unique Pens & Artwork. I create one-of-a-kind fine art. Handcrafted Pens, Woodturnings, and Woodart. I also play with metal, tile, and stained-glass.

My goal is to take the best fusion of these raw materials and create unique multimedia works of art that make you go 'WOW!'

The journey IS the best part of course. I explore new ideas daily, just ask me 'whats next?'

Thanks for visiting my blog. Michael

Pen Boxes for Displays

I've decided that beautiful pens in exotic woods deserve a fitting display case. So I'm off to the shop to design and build several glass-topped pen cases out of some of the same amazing woods that I turn into pens. I'm thinking of a segmented (confetti)design for the top, with box joints on the corners of the case. Then some black velvet lining the inside.

Case #3 : Confetti Top in Cocobolo Rosewood! Kinda art deco to catch the eye and show off some of the many woods used:

  1. I now have 2 cases almost done, I'll post some pics. 2 more on the way. They are all about 6x7 inches, room for 5 pens. One in cherry burl, another in black walnut, a third in maple burl, and a fourth in cocobolo.
