About this Product
This hand-turned maple pen shows off bold natural figuring—ribbons of shimmer and curl that dance in the light. The grain movement is completely organic and gives this simple, clean form a striking amount of character.
The pen is fitted with a chrome cap that posts easily to either end—clicks securely with no threading required. Lightweight, balanced, and practical, it’s perfect for everyday use or as a unique, affordable handmade gift.

Meet the Maker
Hi, I’m Chad—the craftsman behind every piece at StoneWood Designs.
I’ve been a woodworker for as long as I can remember. Whether building something practical or designing something purely for beauty, I’ve always found joy in shaping raw materials into lasting, meaningful objects. In recent years, that passion led me to the lathe—where form, texture, and purpose come together in a way that’s both meditative and endlessly creative.
From pens and bowls to holiday décor, kitchen tools, and desk accessories, everything I make starts with one thing: exceptional material. Living in Las Vegas means I have to work hard to source great wood—but I see that as a feature, not a bug. I spend hours tracking down the right pieces, often working with other small makers across the country to find sustainable, unique woods and hybrid materials. I pride myself on pairing each one perfectly with its hardware, so the design feels complete—intentional from start to finish.
If I had to sum up what I hope you feel when you see or hold one of my pieces? Evocative. Whether it’s a pen that reminds you of the ocean or a bowl that feels rooted in tradition, I want it to spark something. A memory. A mood. A sense of connection.
Supporting handmade work keeps these skills alive—and keeps small makers thriving. I’m proud to be part of that, and I’m grateful you’re here.
How it’s Made
This piece is turned from a single strip of highly figured maple selected specifically for its chatoyance—natural curl and shimmer caused by grain distortion. The blank is shaped by hand on a lathe, then sanded through fine grits and polished to highlight the depth and movement in the grain.
The magnetic cap mechanism is installed by hand and aligned to ensure smooth capping and posting. Though the pen hardware is minimalist, the wood tells a much bigger story—subtle, refined, and one of a kind.
