About this Product
This one-of-a-kind Firefighter Tribute Pen is handcrafted with a stunning flaming box elder wood barrel and a highly detailed chrome finish hardware set. This pen isn’t just a writing tool — it’s a symbol of bravery, duty, and respect.
Designed around the firefighter’s creed, this pen incorporates unique and powerful visual elements:
Firefighter Helmet Topper – Featuring a deeply engraved Maltese Cross with traditional fire service symbols.
Engraved Words of Honor – The barrel hardware includes raised red enamel-filled text: Honor, Bravery, Duty, Dedication.
Ladder Clip – A sculpted ladder-shaped pen clip with chrome detail.
Hydrant End Cap – The finial mimics the texture and style of a hydrant nozzle, finishing the piece with rugged charm.
The barrel is turned from highly figured flaming box elder — a vibrant wood with natural red streaking that echoes flames. Sealed with a high-gloss durable finish to protect the natural beauty.
The pen uses a push-and-lock mechanism, inspired by the very connectors used on fire hoses—secure, intuitive, and satisfying. A meaningful and functional gift for any firefighter, first responder, or supporter of the brotherhood.

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
The flaming box elder blank is stabilized, turned on a lathe, and sanded through multiple grits before being sealed in a CA finish for a brilliant gloss. The chrome firefighter components are precision-threaded and press-fitted to the barrel.
