I received the pen this afternoon and am completely taken back by your exquisite craftsmanship. The pen is more beautiful than I could have imagined! There are colors brought out that I did not even know existed and the metal ornaments on the cap and the lever that use to be corroded and looked green look brand new. I can actually read the inscription on the nib and the end cap of the pen. I will be sure that my kids know about the history of this heirloom and make sure that you are remembered when passing this pen on. Thanks Lou, I appreciate all you have done to make this happen.

I absolutely love my Irish bog oak pen - what an heirloom and unique instrument. How many other people can say they write with an instrument that is made of wood over 1,500 years old!

From Joshua P. in Indiana

I got the pen. I've been using it a lot and it's great.

From Johnathan H.

The Pen arrived and she absolutely loved it. My wife is a school teacher and I wanted to give her something for work that reminded her of our time together. I loved the craftsmanship of the pen. I believe that it will be something she cherishes for many more years to come. I can't thank you enough for the wonderful job you did and in the manner in which you handled everything for me.

From Hyung L of Vancouver, B.C.

The pen arrived yesterday, although at my home address rather than my shipping (office address). Many thanks for the smooth transaction and look forward to trying out the nib.

From John S. In San Francisco

I received the pen yesterday and am so pleased with the quality. It has a very nice weight and the grain on the snakewood is lovely.

From John K. in Hawaii

Hi Lou, thanks for the options, good customer service. I will wait until you complete the sold pine pen, send together with the other.

From Shin K. in Singapore

I have received the 6 pens. Thank you for the complimentary nibs - much appreciated. The large size Huang Hua Li pen is really spectacular. May I know what the name of this style of pen is? Of the other woods, I like the Ancient Kauri and the Algerian Briar very much.

From Thomas V.

Your pens look terrific and it is obvious that you enjoy your work. I am interested in buying 4 of your ballpoint pens: blue mahoe, camatillo, snakewood, and spalted mango

From Tom S. in Jefferson City, MO

Yes I did receive the pen and it is beautiful. I gave it as a gift and the person was very impressed. Thank you.

From Scott B in Gretna, LA

I will gladly wait since the first set of pens are wonderful.

From Scott R.

They did arrive safely and are really well made and beautiful treasures. I was actually thinking of getting another fountain pen - either the Amboyna Burl or the Carolina Cherry. Which do you think is the more impressivelooking wood?

From Normand L. in Woonsocket, RI

I just received my pen. The roller ball has a great color and shape. I like large pens because of my grip and its more comfortable for writing with for long periods of time.

From Karle M.

the Algerian briar pen was received in excellent condition on Friday, 3/9/07. It is beautiful. The color and grain of the wood are exactly what I was hoping for.

From John H. in North Carolina

The pen arrived today safe and sound. I agree with you - a beautiful piece of wood. And the pen is comfortable in hand. It is a large pen. The steel nib writes nicely, as I have come to expect of its type. My wife thinks it is a beautiful pen and being the artist in the family knows.

From Jennie H. in Randallstown, MD

My husband just recieved (sic) the pen and couldn't be happier. Thank you again for doing such wonderful business!

From Brandon and Kristie K. in Titusville, FL

Kristie and I received the pen from you and it exceeded our expectations.

It is a beautifull example of exquisite craftsmanship and we were both very proud to present it as a gift to our friend. In fact, Kristie stated that if he did not appreciate it as much as we did she would take it back from him and give it to me!

Our friend was very appreciative of the pen and loved its look, feel and workmanship. His feelings were heightened further when we shared with him the details of the pen's origin and the hand crafting of the Ancient Kauri.

Thank you again for your personal attention to our order, ensuring that it arrived on time for the occasion even on such short notice. You have in us and our friend new admirers of your products and I am sure repeat customers.

From Tom M. in California

From Starr T. in Texas

The pens are gorgeous!!! ... Wow! This nib is great! I don't have to fight with my ink! It works beautifully and it is beautiful! ... I haven't had time to breathe, much less tell you how special I feel that you have taken so much care in our pens! It is a bright spot in my chaotic world. I promise I will show them off!

From Betty E. in North Carolina

The pen arrived safely today and is absolutely beautiful. We are all delighted with the pen and I plan to include your brochure, business card and pen history in (name withheld for privacy)'s Christmas package. Thank you so much for taking such good care of us and since he is somewhat of a pen buff, we look forward to perhaps more gifts in the future.

From Amanda S. in South Carolina

Thank you so much for your service. The pen arrived on Monday, earlier than expected. It is BEAUTIFUL!. We both cried! Thanks again for making our first wedding anniversary a memorable one. God bless.
