About this Product

Are you looking for a perfect gift for a pilot, zeppelin historian, or something to add to your personal collection? Then this awesome pen made from real aluminum from the frame of the Hindenburg Luftschiff Zeppelin #129 is exactly what you need. This pen comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and your choice of black or blue ink.

Here is a macro-specimen of duralum (aircraft grade aluminum) cut from the wreckage of the famous LZ-129 Zeppelin der Hindenburg! This is NEWLY FOUND MATERIAL just released from the Frazier Collection! Acquired at an estate sale in Germany a few years ago. We know of its tragic loss in 1937 at Lakehurst, New Jersey. What we don't know is why! And most likely never will... This specimen is a small world-class piece embedded in Royal Palm.

LZ 129 Hindenburg (Luftschiff Zeppelin #129; Registration: D-LZ 129) was a large German commercial passenger-carrying rigid airship, the lead ship of the Hindenburg class, the longest class of flying machine and the largest airship by envelope volume. It was designed and built by the Zeppelin Company (Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH) on the shores of Lake Constance in Friedrichshafen and was operated by the German Zeppelin Airline Company (Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei). The airship flew from March 1936 until it was destroyed by fire 14 months later on May 6, 1937 while attempting to land at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in Manchester Township, New Jersey, at the end of the first North American transatlantic journey of its second season of service with the loss of 36 lives.

Meet the Maker

Hello, welcome to my shop. My name is Michael and I am from Lubbock, Texas. I am a father to 3 amazing boys and a husband to a beautiful wife. I am a graduate of Eastern New Mexico University and have deep roots in both Texas and New Mexico. There is no other place I would rather live than the Llano Estacado region of the United States. 

In search of a hobby, I dabbled in woodworking in 2012 as an escape from my day to day full time job. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a passion. Now I just try and find time to do it between all the activities associated with family life. Woodworking gives me a creative outlet that allows me to focus on art and functional pieces. 

I source materials from all over the world and use mediums such as wood, resins, and plastics. On occasion, I get to mix these mediums together in a piece. 

I welcome special orders and I am always open to working with you in order to come up with that special "something."
