Artisanship

Ventana Pens & Pencils are handcrafted by Ventana expert artisan Martijn Stiphout from the reclaimed woods we use for surfboards. They feel great in your hand, are well balanced, write like butter, and are finished to make the wood grain and color pop. 

The pens are Slimline Pro Gelwriters in gold, chrome, antique copper, or gunmetal. The pencils are Slimline with .7mm graphite. These are also available as 5mm graphite sketch pencils.

Note that the manzanita burl stand is not included in the prices. You can email us if you're interested in purchasing one or more.

Responsibility

The pens and pencils are handcrafted from various salvaged and reclaimed woods.

Douglas fir (dark wood) from the hull of the original Western Flyer, considered by many to be the most famous fishing boat in the world. John SteinbeckEd "Doc" Ricketts and crew sailed this 77-foot sardine boat into the Sea of Cortez in Baja California, Mexico in 1940. The following year, Steinbeck published his book, The Log from the Sea of Cortez, about the adventure. Learn more about this amazing boat and Ventana's use of its wood.

    Stunning!

    We ordered the sketch pencil made from resin cast-offs and were blown away by how gorgeous it was in person. It’s light weight and comfortable to hold, and the accompanying stand make it feel like a piece of art on our desk while it is not in use.

    All in all, it is a delightful combination of art, function, and craftsmanship, all while incorporating discarded resin in an elegant way.

    Thank you Ventana!

    What a great company to deal with! Your customer service and products are excellent and your commitment to using reclaimed and "cast-off" wood is a win-win for us all. Great craftsmanship on the pen I ordered for Christmas.

    Beautifully made

    I bought both the Western Flyer Doug Fir pen and pencil as a set. They are just beautiful and well made. They are a pleasure to use. Hefty, well balanced and comfortable in the hand.

    The history behind the wood used has personal significance and will become a family treasure. Thank you!!!
