Ryan, Aristotle once said,"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. " I received one of your Maple Burl, Luxury Fountain pens as a retirement gift, and find Aristotle's words to be true. Lifting the pen ignites a warm, magical flame within my imagination and I can feel the wisdom and knowledge that is trapped within the beauty of the piece I am holding. The secrets of the Universe are imprisoned within the pen you have so masterfully created. My only problem is getting the pen to part with its secrets. It is a writing instrument fit for a King, a Poet, or anyone who wants to feel like one. Thank you for great work of practical art.

I have been a collector of fine pens for more than 25 years. Over this time, I have collected many fine writing instruments that are truly works of art, and certainly look very beautiful in the display case. However, I have never owned a pen that was more beautiful than the two collector editions which I have purchased from you. The exotic woods and the craftsmanship are unsurpassed in beauty and add a new dimension to my collection. The other pens I have purchased from you for gifts have been greatly appreciated and most highly regarded by the people lucky enough to have received these fine gifts. Thanks for your art and vision for fine craftsmanship.

Hi Ryan,
I did recieve the gorgeous deer antler pen today. I have to say it is a really beautiful fountain pen. It is one of the best looking pens that I have to date, if not the best looking of the some 300 pens that I have collected so far. Thank you so much for sending it to me before Christmas. It will be a present from my wife when we hand out gifts among our family on Christmas day.
Wishing you a truly wonderful Christmas and a great New year.

Ryan, Hope all is well. I was using my pen last night to write a batch of letters. Don’t you wish more people actually wrote letters these days? I truly enjoyed sitting at my desk with a cup of coffee and writing to people I care about. I don’t know if it was because I was reflecting on some of my cherished friendships or if it was because I was writing with such a wonderful pen. The pen you made for me is very personal and once I start writing with it I can’t stop. I catch myself trying to think of reasons to hand-write things. I just wanted to let you know it has brought me a lot pleasure and I think the pen is truly a work of art. Thanks again.
Sincerely, Mark

Ryan,
I love the luxury ball point you custom made for me. Ebony with tiger maple stripe was both nouveau chic and stylish yet timeless which I find truly reflects my mode de vie. I am in sales and the pen has been a great conversation piece and helped ease the transition when closing my deals. At the end of my sales pitch, I would hand the pen over to my client while discribing its origins, telling him to try the pen as he signed on the dotted line of my contract... butter. I would recomend your skilled artistic craftsmanship in a heart beat.

Ryan,I have found the pen to be of exceptional quality. The craftsmanship is as good, if not superior, to other high end name brand pens available on the market. The uniqueness and individuality of my pen allows me to stand out and appreciate the differences. I have a Mont Blanc and your Buffalo Horn rollerball. There is a distinct difference in the weight of the instrument and quality of the writing from from the one I bought from you. I would recommend my pen to anyone who appreciates the finer things in life."

Ryan is an artist in every sense of the word. His workmanship is beautiful and meticulous. He pours his heart into everything he creates. I have one of his pens and LOVE it! It's the pen I reach for again and again. I've also bought several of his pens as gifts for family members. They are always received with awe and very much enjoyed by the recipients.
Thanks so much!

Ryan,
Many years ago, my husband "graced" me with a special, expensive pen. I was so excited and it was exactly what I had wanted: Fat and the point was smooth and dependable; I kept it on my bed table and was careful not to let it get away from me.--- But one day --- it wasn't there--- we searched, but no pen! For quite some time I bought pens, but was not satisfied. I yearned to have my special pen returned, but it didn't happen. About a month ago, I received a BIG SURPRISE! The prettiest "fattest" pen I'd ever
seen! I felt like I was holding a jewel!
