About this Product
This handcrafted bolt-action pen fuses steampunk mechanics with rare artisan materials. The body is a seamless blend of natural maple burl and high-grade resin embedded with real copper, silver, and ground diamond particles—engineered for shimmer, depth, and shifting color under light.
As the pen turns in your hand, the suspended metallic and diamond particulate refracts light, creating a complex, almost holographic effect. The natural grain of the burl flows into a dark, shimmering resin—like molten metal and stardust frozen in motion.
The working bolt-action mechanism is paired with antique brass, gunmetal, and copper accents, delivering a tactile experience that’s as functional as it is visually striking. This is a true conversation piece—meant for collectors, engineers, sci-fi lovers, and anyone who values something unapologetically unique.

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 pen starts with a hand-cast hybrid blank combining stabilized maple burl and resin loaded with copper, silver, and diamond particulate—not just shimmer, but real precious materials that catch and refract light in motion.
The blank is hand-turned on a lathe, shaped to highlight the dramatic transition between burl and resin. After precision sanding through a full micro-grit range, it’s polished to a glassy finish that amplifies every fleck of wood grain, metal, and diamond sparkle.
The hardware is then carefully assembled, featuring a fully functional bolt-action mechanism with antique-finish components.
