 | As you promised the pens were waiting for me when I picked up my mail on Saturday. You did a very nice job making them. They are beautiful. Thank you for the care and craftsmanship you put into making them for me. It has been a pleasure doing business with you. |
Regards,
Jim McNulty - Stamford, Connecticut
| Thank you so very much! Your communication, quick response and shipment all mean so much!
I am very grateful and also anxious to see the pen. I am confident, given your impeccable service, it to is of terrific quality !
I did receive your business card today and will be sure to pass on your good name to others. Your business is sure to thrive. |
Thank you again
Your new customer,
Emmaleen Oliver - Elgin, Texas
| I've been meaning to contact you to let you know the pen is absolutely beautiful. My husband will absolutely love it! You have definitely gained a repeat customer. |
Missy Jones - Royal Palm Beach, Florida
| Jim, I just received my pen. The workmanship and craftsmanship is second to none. It is not only a fine writing instrument, but it is a work of art. I am now the instant envy of the office. I have also been told if I ever run out of charcoal, I can bar-b-que with my mesquite pen. Once again, many thanks.

| I got the pen today. It is truly a piece of art work. This is my 14th wedding anniversary. The traditional gift was ivory and the modern gift was gold. I could not imagine carving a piece of Ivory soap into anything worth giving. Thank you so much for the beautiful pen. I think given the alternative of me creating a soap sculpture versus the pen, you win hands down. I am sure my husband will be surprised and very happy. He, too, loves beautiful things.
Sincerely,
Katherine Scott - Sacramento, California

| I received my fountain pen on Monday. It is absolutely beautiful! The candy box elder burl is most unique in appearance and in my opinion goes perfectly with the Rhodium finish of the pen components. The craftsmanship in this pen is unsurpassed as far as I'm concerned. I have never seen better quality in a handmade writing instrument. I purposely waited a day or two so I could get an idea of how the pen handles. It handles perfectly, I like a heavy pen and this one is, especially with the cap posted. Some ladies might find it a little top heavy but, after a little use it feels great. I am thoroughly satisfied with my new pen and have had a great week using it at work and as well have had several compliments.
Warmest Regards,
Gary Stone - Owasso, Oklahoma |
| The pen I ordered arrived yesterday and it is truly beautiful; not so much as a single minor flaw could I find. Truly a work of art. And very quick delivery!!
I'll definitely remember your site for any future pen needs.
Thanks so much.
Todd Sherman - Holloman AFB, New Mexico

| Thank you for getting the pen out to me so quickly. The pen is beautiful and real conversation piece. I am looking forward to actually buying one for myself.
Thanks again.
Ara Seferian - Rockleigh, New Jersey |
| Mr. Lambert:
The pen set I ordered arrived late last week, and I picked it up Monday. I am impressed with the quality and beauty of the pens. Thank you so very much. I am sure that their future owner will treasure them and put them to good use.
It has been a pleasure doing business with someone who takes such pride in their work. Thanks again,
Bradley J Behm - Calgary, AB, Canada |
| Dear Jim,
Just wanted to let you know I received the pen in good order, and the quality of the pen is exceptional. It really surpassed my expectations, and is truly beautiful.
Thank you very much.
|
| I just got the pens today and they look fantastic. You and the engraver did an excellent job. The woodwork is beautiful. Thank you so much for your help. I would definitely recommend your company to others. Thanks again. Wish me luck, I'm making the plunge and couldn't be more excited. Don Stenger

| You made three Havana pens for me this summer that I used for grooms men presents. Just wanted to take a moment to thank you and tell you my buddies really enjoy using their pens, and were amazed at what a hand crafted pen can look and write like. With all of the options on your site I had a difficult time decided on what to order, but I am sure these pens were the correct choice after seeing their enthusiasm. You are the man!
Thanks so much and please take care.
Avery Ashby - Knoxville, Tennessee

| Jim, This pen is jewelry. My wife is at work right now, and I was going to give her the pen for Christmas, but I am so excited, I shall give it to her tonite. She's a banker, that can really use a conversation piece like this. Pictures don't do your work any justice, I just can't get over this.
Thank you very very much, and keep in touch.
Thanks,
Reg Armstrong- British Columbia, Canada
|
| Just wanted to let you know that I received the pens
last week and they are absolutely lovely! Everything in my order exceeded my
expectations. You do wonderful work. I will be sure to recommend your
business to others and will certainly be ordering from you again in the
future. Thanks for the timeliness and for the quality craftsmanship!
Thanks again,
Kerry Hale - Wichita, Kansas

| I received my belt today. Both it and your service are great. I am the Central US Regional Manager for Woodcraft Supply and attended a meeting last week in W. Virginia. An Assistant Store Manager from Springfield, Virginia had one of your belts and I was so impressed that I had to have one.
I am wearing it now and I look forward to many a compliment. Thanks again for a beautiful product and very quick service. I'll probably order some for Christmas presents.

| I came home today after a very stressful first week at a new job, eleven hours today with no lunch, to my three new presents. They are lovely pieces of work and I am rejuvenated, thinking that even in the worst of times, I'll be working with these beautiful pieces in my hand.
I'm especially pleased with the European Style Twist Pen, #PGLT01, in Cocobolo (whatever that wood may be!). It has a heft and swing that's exactly what a pen lover wants to feel. I love wood pens because they take on the character of their writer; her smell and her emollience and her tiniest preferences--they are really poetry, and this is coming from a poet!
Please don't stop making this European classic. It is all a wood pen should be. Do you think you'll be coming back with the beautiful wood boxes, ever? I look at mine from time to time, from last year, and just marvel at its beauty and perfection, especially as a gift. Even as my own, it's the perfect place to store my pen when I'm ending the day. It says something really amazing about the person writing with it, something I want my visitors to know...I am proud to leave it at work, even as I must trust the universe that it will be there the next day when I come back!
Thanks again, Jim--you have chosen a truly honorable way to make a living.
Katie Parmeter - San Francisco, CA |
| I just wanted to say that I received
the stylus the other day and was very pleased. My husband purchased a
stylus from you earlier this year and a friend of ours was so impressed with
it that we thought it would be a nice gift for him. I'm sure he will
be just a pleased as my husband has been with his. If I ever decide to give
up my spiral notepad :~) and go to a PDA, I'll be sure and order my stylus
through you. Thanks again for the quick, professional service.
Carol A. Sanders - Belleville, IL

| Jim,
I just want to thank you and let you know I am especially satisfied with my
European style Bocote wood pen. I according to my coworker have a pen
fetish, and he may be correct in saying that, so my compliment should be
taken to heart. I am thrilled and look forward to doing more business
with you and your company. One side comment, and that is very nice
site layout, easy to navigate and find what you are looking for. Keep
up the high standards on everything and I am sure you will have very loyal
customers who will spread the word. |
Thanks,
Shawn
T. Bohl - Hunlock Creek, PA
| The pen arrived today and it is KNOCK 'EM DEAD"
gorgeous. I thought the others were beautiful ( and they are) but this one
takes my breath away. You can be very proud of your craftsmanship. Many,
many thanks. It has been a pleasure doing business with you and I surely
will keep you & your pens in mind for gifts (and myself).

Just letting you
know that I received the 2nd Red Stag Pen today and I want to
express my deepest gratitude for a super job well done. I have made a
few suggestions to you along the way and I have another – change your name
to WritingInstruments.com. As you know I will be giving these
pens as gifts, as I did the Ironwood and Ebony Pen to another client, and I
can say with all honesty that I cannot remember giving gifts that carry the
same lifelong pleasure that I am certain will accompany these writing
instruments. I may not have told you that I have a strong
background in fine jewelry manufacturing and know quality workmanship when I
see it - the finish on these pens and the care you have shown me with your
guarantee of satisfaction was stated and given. Your kind of
business philosophy is similar to mine and should be followed by all
businesses who want to experience success – please feel free to give my
telephone number to anyone who wants to talk to someone who needs a
reference. I’m sure I’ll be ordering more soon. |
Thank you again, and
again, and again!

| Hello, Jim!
The pen just arrived at my front door- it's beautiful! I had no
idea what in the world to get for my husband- the fifth year is
traditionally "wood" or "silverware". Silverware would
not have made him smile, and going to Home Depot just seemed too easy- not
"special". When I overheard that he lost his Palm Pilot stylus, I
thought a wood stylus would be perfect! But everywhere I looked, no one had
heard of one being made of wood, nor did they know where to send me. The
one place I thought would definitely have one, Franklin Covey, didn't even
know that a stylus made out of wood existed.
I went online and did a search with google.com, and that's how I found your
company. I searched in stores for so long that when I finally found
woodpens.com, it was Monday- I thought that there would be no way for me to
receive it by Friday, but it was just the perfect gift. I had to take the
chance that it would arrive in time for our anniversary. Your great,
personal customer service ensured that it would arrive by Friday- and now I
can relax! :)
The pen is wonderful- he's going to love it. Thanks for the speedy,
dependable service, thanks for the high-quality writing implement that my
husband will use for years to come, but most of all, thanks for helping to
make my 5th anniversary so special.

Your pen
was a hit at the local pool league night -- I couldn't resist and gave it to
him -- everyone loved it.
Thanks a bunch -- it's not often I get one on him -- he made me a cue
for Christmas so it only seemed fitting that I got him a cue - cue pen that
is.

| I wanted to express my unexpectedly extreme
satisfaction with your company.
While searching the Internet for ways that I could help with the relief
efforts for the atrocity we all experienced on September 11, your web site
was among my search results. Intrigued, I checked out your site and
was impressed with the products that your company offers. I ordered a
Curly Maple pen donated by Jim Lambert from your "Coordinated Effort to
Help" section. While the photo of the pen looked very nice on
your site, I honestly didn't know what to expect when the pen actually
arrived.
To my delight, the pen is even more beautiful than
I imagined, and the craftsmanship is extraordinary. Moreover, the pen
was delivered less than three full days after I placed the order. To
top that off, I was very impressed to find a hand written "Thank
You" from you on the sales receipt.
I have placed over 100 orders from various Internet sites this year, but I
have never been so happy with an "online experience" as I am with
your company. Your professionalism, high quality products, and
unbelievably quick response are indeed a rarity among online merchants, not
to mention the fact that the proceeds from my particular purchase are going
to assist the families of rescue workers. I am so thoroughly pleased
with my purchase from you that I am recommending your company to all of my
friends and coworkers. I will definitely be placing additional orders
with you in the near future.
Thank you so much for establishing www.woodpens.com.
I wish you the very best.
Keep up the GREAT work!

Thanks for your mail and many
thanks for your time and care in coordinating this fund raising effort. I
have visited the pages and purchased a pen. We have all been affected by
this outrageous action but the impact for us in the UK is minimal compared
with that of you and your fellow Americans. I would like to have been able
to do more than this, and the donation I made to our corporate Red Cross
collection at work, but we have as many financial difficulties as the next
family. The only other thing I can offer at this time is our love,
prayers and the hope that justice will prevail, these I send freely and
unlimited.
Keep up the good work and
please let me know if there is anything at all I can do to promote this in
the UK. It goes without saying that I will forward your email to everyone in
my address book and please feel free to forward or use my correspondence in
any way you feel useful.
Once again, thank you for
this opportunity to help and my very best regards,

| We received our pen today and it really was so much
above our expectations. It is beautiful and will make the nicest gift.
For everyone who is looking for that absolutely most special gift for
Christmas, Anniversary, and Graduation these pens are IT. For that
deer hunter on your list believe me the deer antler pen is fabulous, for
those others that you need to buy for the specialty pens are fantastic, we
shipped JIM a special piece of wood and if you look on the woodpens.com/heirloom.asp
website you can see it, the history makes this a special pen BUT the beauty
makes it the greatest gift of all. Handcrafted for an excellent price
really makes these pens a must. Thank you so much for everything JIM,
can't wait now for Christmas when we can start giving these out.

| This is Polina, Luca's wife (Elen Hunting and
Importing Inc). I just received the antler pen.
Wow!!!
I am a fan and collector of pens and I have
never seen a more special or nicer one. There is only one word
I can find to describe it - Beautiful!!! Your work is a
true gift. Thank you! The pen is more than I expected it will
be. And Yes, it is really comfortably balanced.
Thanks once again. It was my pleasure.
Best Regards,
Polina Sannino, Springfield, NJ

| I just got back from Maryland today, and the package
was awaiting me. The ivory has a terrific grain, weight, and color.
The light beige is fantastic. I really like the Signature style
pen. It looks really neat and is
perfectly balanced. The twist mechanism works well, and I look forward
to using the pen for many years. Nice work for sure. Anyway,
this pen is certainly my finest.
Thanks again for making such a great pen.
Joe Jaworski, Sewell, NJ |
| Jim, I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful
pens and beautiful presentation. These are really GORGEOUS and I know
my friend Patty will love them; if NextCard ever looks for corporate gifts,
I'll definitely recommend you!!
Thanks again--

| Today was a wonderful day I received the 3 custom
wooden pens you made for me. Words can not express just how beautiful and
finely crafted they are. You are a true talented craftsman. I will be proud
to use and show off these top quality writing instruments, I will get years
of enjoyment from them. Again I thank you and applaud your talents.
Peace and God Bless, Peter F Bertrand, Greenfield Ctr, NY |
| Just wanted you to know that Darr received his pen.
I have NEVER heard anyone so excited about anything in my life as he
was over this pen. Jim, he went on for over 20 minutes non-stop about
how beautiful this was, and how much he LOVED it. He wants more, so
later on I will talk to you about getting him a gift certificate to WOODPENS
for his Christmas gift.
Again thank you so very much, you really made this young mans day. He
plans on taking "her" everywhere with him and showing it off.
He informed he that he took it to his daughter's dance class last
night showing everyone his "love".
I asked him if he was going to go to bed with his wife OR sleep on the couch
with his "pen", he told me he would probably sleep on the couch
with the pen.
Thanks
Dee Page, North Fort Myers, FL |
| I just got back from school, and the pen looks
fantastic. I can tell you spend a lot of time at your craft and you
were right about the wood: it is spectacular. Thanks for an excellent job.
Mike Jaworski, Sewell, NJ |
| I must say you do excellent work, its funny you can
spend over $2500.00 on a pen and not have one as one of a kind as mine :)
John Blackwell, Tallahassee, FL
|
| Oh Jim, I'm just drooling all over my keyboard at
that pen!!! Wow, I wish you wouldn't show me things like that! It's too
beautiful, and the satin gold is just gorgeous with the ivory. I'm going to
have to turn off my computer now before I go spend all the grocery money on
dead elephant stuff.
Congratulations on your work of art!
Pat Lawson, Laguna Beach, CA |
| Hi Jim,
I did receive my pen & I'm happy to say it
arrived safe & sound. It is absolutely gorgeous & is already my
favorite pen! Thank you so much for your outstanding service & your
commitment to putting the customer first.
All the best,
Tina Osgood, Ontario, Canada

| The Birdseye
Zebrawood European BP Pen arrived today, Friday, January 19. A very
nice pen with great coloring! Nicely done! I have lots of wood
pens, but only a few (like this one) really standout and have the grain
looking really good!
Seth Eberhardt, Hillsborough, NJ |
| Dear Jim:
I received my European Style
pen and pencil set out of the Birdseye Zebrawood and they are beautiful. You
did a fine job of making them . The mark of a true craftsman . They write
very nicely and the wood grain is just gorgeous . I am sure that I
will order from you in the future for gifts for others and myself. It is
nice to take it out of your pocket and write with such and fine writing
instrument .
Many Thanks

| I've had a few days to play with the roller
ball and stylus pens. First of all, they both look magnificent.
Their fit and finish are excellent as well. They are suited for use in
the fanciest environments. I don't work in a fancy environment, so
I'll just have to use them in my regular office. :-) Also,
since they are created from wood, no two will be alike, which makes them
works of art, as well as writing instruments, I've always liked the
feel of wood.
The Stylus is a joy to use. It is very precise and comfortable.
It works very well for free-hand applications, such as signatures.
Other types of styluses don't do as well. They skip too much. A
co-worker of mine has been trying to find a stylus that he could use
for testing PDA security programs which use the signature of the owner to
activate the PDA. Up until he tried my stylus pen, he was not able to
successfully duplicate his signature enough times to make the software
work. Well guess what? When he used my new stylus pen, he was a
able to duplicate his signature successfully time after time after
time. You may be hearing from him in the near future.
I also like the Signature Roller Ball pen a lot. It seems to be
balanced best when the cap is left off, rather than pushed onto the bottom
of the pen. It is light, well balanced and writes smoothly.
Prior to finding out about it, I was looking at purchasing a Pelikan 600
roller ball pen. It too is light, balanced and writes well.
Since it retails for $150+, I'm awfully glad that I found out about
woodpens.com before I bought the Pelikan. it is every bit
as nice, and a work of art as well!
I'm thinking seriously about buying a Signature Pen and Pencil set! |
Rick Siegert, Durham, NC
| Are you as tired of looking at that old
stick stylus as I am? Or maybe you upgraded to a ball point pen
look-alike. Well, I found something truly different (and I don't mean
something that looks like a ring either) in the form of a HAND MADE exotic
wood stylus pen at fantastic prices. Take a look at www.woodpens.com
and click on "wooden
gifts/PDA Stylus." There are about 40 species of woods to
choose from along with laser engraving and choice of containers to store
them in. These are truly different and beautiful. They typically measure a
little over 5" in length and I wanted one that would fit the leather
case of my HP Jornada 545 (about 4-3/4") . The owner (James A. Lambert)
offered to modify my new Zebrawood stylus so it would fit my case at no
extra cost.

| Just wanted to drop you a quick note to
thank you for the beautiful "click-button" pen I ordered and rapidly
received last week (incredible 2-day turnaround!) I have ordered from you in
the past, and when I saw that you now offer a click-button style, I just had
to get one (I'll probably get more for myself in the future).
Jeff McGuire, Mesa, AZ
|
| I received the pens today. They are
wonderful. The wood is perfect and I really like the way that you had
Allegro engraved on them. Thank you for getting them so quickly.
I will be back time next time I need something extra special.
Emmett Scully, Columbia, SC |
| I received the pen I ordered today and the
complimentary pen due to the delay with the engraving. They are beautiful!
The wood is beautiful, the workmanship is excellent, as is the engraving,
and they write well too!
I'm very pleased and I hope the recipient
of the pens is too!
Donna Pignataro, Scarsdale, NY |
| I just received my pen. It is absolutely
beautiful, and you have done yourself proud in customer service and quality
of workmanship !! Be assured I will be back again ! |
Lisa Chapman, New Brunswick, Canada
| Just wanted to let you know that I got my
pen the other day and it is really beautiful! I am very impressed and
very happy that I decided to order from you. I felt like I was taking a big
risk by ordering from a company that I had never heard of and just happened
to find on the internet. I had no idea what kind of quality I would get.
Keep up the good work. And next time I
need a really nice pen, I'll be sure to order from you!
One happy customer,
Nancy Hopkins, Charlottesville, VA
|
| This will be my second order that I have
purchased from you. I have enjoyed my pen so well that I have decided to
purchase another pen for my father. The pen writes as well as it looks. I
get many compliments from others on how nice it looks. Great Job !! |
Michael Blair, Plano, TX
| We just made the pics and are soo pleased
with the pen. I am so grateful to you, Geri, and to Jim for
making this happen for us!!! We've been through a lot, my father and I, this
pen has helped us considerably to remember before my sickness and this is
quite precious to both of us.
Most sincerely, Vicki and Dad
From Dad.....---->This was a really great surprise to me. I love this
pen. You are a Godsend! Vicki and I are most grateful. Many, many
thanks. Perhaps, one of these days all four of us will meet in the flesh. I
hope so. Dad Harkness |
| Jim, you are so customer oriented, thanks
for getting back to me and so fast....I really think the pens are great and
am thinking of a set in the zebra wood...maybe in a month or so....thanks
again for helping me get straight on this..... |
Steve Ambrose, Burke, VA
| The friend of ours that you made the last
pen for, loves his pen. Said it is his most favorite, and he carries it with
him all the time. You do such beautiful work. |
Deni Golden, Newville, AL
| Took a look at your website, and the photos
look great! So does the pen you sent me -- I'm sure I'll be ordering more in
the future! |
Greg Nylen, Los Angles, CA
| Sorry it took me this long to acknowledge
receipt of the pens and pencil. I got them on Monday and are they ever
beautiful!!!!! I just might order a few more in different kinds of wood. |
Cathy Anderson, Boston, MA
| Thank you so much for the two beautiful
pens. I received my leatherette box today. I can't wait to give this
beautiful gift to a very special Young Man. Thanks
for all you're help. |
Donna Pignataro, Scarsdale, NY
| I received the fountain pen from you safe
and sound, and I thought I would write to say that it writes beautifully and
I am very pleased. |
Thank you and I hope to order from you
again.

| "My brother has Multiple Sclerosis.
One of the symptoms that he has is that he cannot feel a "normal"
pen in his hand. I gave him one of your pens for Christmas, and he was just
THRILLED. The weight and size of the European style pen is perfect for him.
He can feel it in his hand!" |
