Handcrafted
Corn Cob Pens
Now comes in RED
These pens are made from real corn cobs that
have been dried for at least 2 years. I shell the corn and then stabilize
the cobs in a process that impregnates the cob with a plastic resin.
The cobs are then turned on a lathe, finished with several coats of
lacquer, and assembled. Corn cobs are extremely difficult to work
with and prone to exploding off the lathe, so it takes three to four
hours to complete each pen. Each pen is made to order. By their nature,
corn cobs have a great variety of texture and color, so some variation
in the look of the pen is normal and to be expected.
Currently, we offer three kinds of pens. A fountain pen, pictured
below, a roller ball pictured above, identical to the fountain pen
except for the nib, and a "cigar pen" which is shown on
the display case below, which is a large ballpoint pen with a fine
German -made refill.
All
of our pens are priced at $62.24, the score of the '96 Fiesta Bowl
and in honor of the '95 Nebraska Cornhuskers, the greatest college
football team ever. Each pen ships in a maple case (pictured above
and below) and the price includes shipping. For $110 you can get two
of our pens, mix and match as you'd like, and the pens will be shipped
in a double pen case. Special orders of corn cob pens and or other
woods can be done. Please email
us with any questions.
