Old Goat Wood Turners – Handcrafted pens and other unique items turned on a wood lathe.  Made with exceptional care and quality, our turned items are wonderfully unique and make excellent gifts.  As experienced wood turners, you can expect quality and care in every Old Goat product.

We use a variety of materials in our items; natural wood, colored resin, and a combination of wood, resin, and sometimes other materials, called hybrids.  In addition to the above mentioned materials we also use label cast (a printed image that is applied to a brass tube and encased in a crystal clear resin), fordite, and polymer-clay pen blanks.  

All of our pens have refillable ink cartridges, which come in a variety of colors and point widths (fine, medium, broad) and can be easy found online or at your local office supply store.  Fountain pens come with an ink refill and an ink converter for use with bottled ink and a black ink cartridge.

Finish Details: On our all resin bodies, we shape and size the body on our lathe.  The next steps are to wet sand using a six step sanding process (400-8000 grit), polish using six unique polishing compounds, and finally buff the body on a buffing wheel.  The process on wood and hybrid bodies is the same with the exception of, prior to sanding we apply up to 12 coats of cyanoacrylate that cures hard and crystal clear.  After the body is complete, we hand assemble each pen.  The end result is a beautiful pen that is designed to impress and will provide many years of service.  

Ships with a velvet pouch for storage.
