These are some pen cases I made that when opened they serve as a pen holder/display and when closed serve as a case their hinged on one end with brass pins.
woods used- Maple sides with Padauk – Redheart – Bubinga – walnut/burl – Spalted maple…. bodies
I would like to claim the whole idea but I modified this design from one I saw online ….It did take some head scratching to figure out how it was made!!!
The pens in the cases are not the ones that go with the cases …I just used them for taking the pictures , The cases were made before the pens =I did make pens to match each case and each was made to order!
Most of these were givin as gifts and sold the rest!!! I’m getting Alot of requests for more and will be selling them with the option to have them engraved…

OK let me in on the secret.. When I get around to making pens these will come in handy… very nice job…. the finish is excellent and choice of timbers sublime…

I think the boxes are even nicer then the pens , not to say you pens aren’t nice . You pick some beautiful woods for the boxes . Do you sell the boxes with the pens or are these gifts ? I would think if you were selling them they would be almost if not more then the pens . Care to share how you did the boxes , if not that’s cool, nice job all around .

Beautiful boxes and clever too. Do you have to include an instruction sheet on how to open them?

I especially like the choice of woods you made. Burls are always a favorite.

Hi Rj
You have out done yourself this time my friend and that is hard to do. Great design and beautiful wood choices. These should increase your pen sales if that is what you want to do. Thanks for posting.
God Bless

yup.. SOMEBODY has to write a blog to show how to make something like this.
Very nice!!!
Since everyone in my family received/is receiving a pen this year for their birthday—next year I could give them each a case. That would be nice…
