Personalized Wooden Slim Pen — Handmade, Refillable & Made to Order
A personalized handmade wooden pen with a slim, lightweight feel, refillable ballpoint ink, and comfortable everyday writing. Made to order for you.
A Better Every day Pen
Do you prefer a pen that feels comfortable and natural in your hand rather than bulky or heavy?
The ASH Woodshops Handmade Wooden Slim Pen was designed for exactly that kind of everyday writing.
Its streamlined profile is lightweight and easy to carry, making it a practical choice for your desk, planner, journal, office, classroom, purse, briefcase, or pocket.
And unlike a disposable plastic pen, this is a writing instrument you can keep.
When the ink runs out, simply replace the Cross-style compatible cartridge and keep writing.
Keep the pen. Replace the ink.
That's a better way to enjoy an everyday writing instrument.
Slim, Lightweight & Comfortable
A slim pen can be a great choice if you prefer a smaller writing instrument that doesn't feel bulky in your hand.
The streamlined wooden body provides a comfortable, balanced feel while the lightweight construction makes it easy to use throughout the day.
Whether you're signing documents, taking notes, journaling, writing in a planner, working at your desk, or simply keeping a dependable pen nearby, this handmade slim pen is designed to become the one you reach for again and again.
The smooth twist mechanism also keeps the writing tip safely retracted when the pen is being carried in a pocket, purse, bag, or briefcase.
Refillable Instead of Disposable
Why replace an entire pen when you only need more ink?
This handmade wooden pen uses a Cross-style compatible ballpoint ink cartridge.
When the cartridge runs dry, replace the refill and continue using the same pen.
Cross-style compatible refills are widely available and easy to replace, making this a practical refillable ball point pen for everyday use.
The wooden pen body is designed to stay with you for years rather than becoming another disposable plastic pen headed for the trash.
Make It Personal
Want to make your pen truly yours?
Laser engraving and personalization are available.
Add a name, initials, meaningful date, short message, or other appropriate personalization to create a custom wooden pen that is uniquely yours.
A personalized pen also makes a thoughtful gift because it combines something useful with something made specifically for the recipient.
If you have a particular engraving idea in mind, please contact me before ordering so I can confirm the available options and placement for your selected wood and pen finish.
Handmade Wood Makes Every Pen Unique
Natural wood is one of the reasons I love making these pens.
Every piece has its own grain, figure, color, and character. Even two pens made from the same species of wood will never be exactly alike.
The pen shown in the photographs is representative of the finished product. Your pen will have its own naturally occurring wood grain and characteristics.
That means the pen you receive isn't simply a copy of the photograph.
It is your one-of-a-kind piece of wood.
Choose Your Wood & Metal Finish
Our Slim Pen is available in several beautiful metal-plated finishes:
• Gold
• Satin Gold
• Chrome
• Satin Pearl
• Black Chrome
• Copper
Popular wood and trim combinations are offered as listing choices and have been selected to complement one another.
Want a different combination?
Send me a message.
If the wood and hardware are available, I'll be happy to work with you to create a combination that fits your taste.
A Handmade Gift That Gets Used
A beautiful gift doesn't have to sit on a shelf.
A handmade wooden pen becomes part of someone's everyday life.
This personalized pen can make a thoughtful gift for:
• Writers and authors
• Book lovers
• Teachers
• Graduates
• Coworkers
• Professionals
• Retirees
• Groomsmen
• Students
• Journaling enthusiasts

• Note Takers
• Office professionals

Personalize it with a name, initials, or meaningful message to make the gift even more memorable.

Made to Order by Hand in North Carolina
Each ASH Woodshops pen is individually handmade to order by me, artist-craftsman Alan Huey, in my small workshop in Wake Forest, North Carolina.
I personally select the materials used for each pen and shape the wooden pen body freehand on a lathe.
The body then goes through a detailed multi-step finishing process. Depending on the material and body style, this can involve approximately 12–15 individual steps of shaping, sanding, smoothing, polishing, buffing, and waxing.
The finished wooden body is then carefully joined with the pen's mechanical hardware before receiving its final hand polishing.
Every step is performed with the goal of creating a writing instrument that looks beautiful, feels good in the hand, and is made to be enjoyed for years.
Quality You Can Feel
I use quality pen hardware with durable plating because I want my handmade pens to be more than attractive objects.
I want them to be Fine Writing Instruments.
At ASH Woodshops, I will not ship anything that I would not be proud to own and use myself.
That philosophy goes into every pen I make.
Superior Quality.
Timeless Tradition.
Always Handmade.
Exquisite Craftsmanship.
Fine Writing Instrument.
AN ASH WOODSHOPS ORIGINAL
Important Refill Information
This pen uses a Cross-style compatible ballpoint ink cartridge.
The included cartridge is a high-quality compatible refill and is not necessarily manufactured by Cross.
When you need replacement ink, look for a Cross-style compatible refill.
If you're ever unsure which refill you need for your ASH Woodshops pen, contact me. I'm happy to help you keep your pen writing.
A Note About Your Handmade Pen
The pens shown in the photographs are representative examples.
Because natural wood varies from piece to piece, your pen's grain, color, figure, and other natural characteristics will vary from the photographs.
This is one of the special qualities of buying a handmade wooden pen.
No two will ever be exactly alike.
Your pen is made individually for you—not pulled from a mass-produced inventory.
Packaging & Shipping
Every pen is packaged in its paperboard and felt gift box and protected for shipping.
Your order ships via USPS Ground Advantage unless you select an available upgraded shipping option at checkout.
Please refer to Etsy's current delivery estimate at checkout for the most accurate delivery information for your location.
Crafted With Pride. Made for Years of Writing.
From the wood I select to the final polish, every ASH Woodshops pen is made with the belief that an everyday object can also be something special.
It can be useful.
It can be beautiful.
It can be personal.
And it can be made to last.
Keep the pen. Replace the ink. Enjoy the craftsmanship.
