Pacey Woodcraft began when I took up wood turning as a hobby.  I discovered pen turning as an offshoot not long after that and I was hooked. At first, I was making them for immediate family, friends, and colleagues.  I soon began to realize that folks enjoy a good pen - especially when the design and materials are chosen specifically to suit a person or their interests.  Things continued to evolve after I settled in the beautiful Victorian town of Kingsville, Ontario, Canada in the spring of 2019.  

I gave this project my Mum's family name. It seemed appropriate as the most natural thing in the world was for her to have pen in hand, always writing letters, making lists & doing crosswords.

Every turner develops their own process for their craft, and they can vary greatly from one turner to another,  I'm certainly no exception, having spent countless hours developing and refining my approach, with a view to giving people the best quality handcrafted item possible.   As I experiment with different approaches and discover new materials, I've ended up adding steps to my process in a constant effort to refine the final results.  This ultimately means that it takes more time, but a quality-driven item is more satisfying to make.  

Cursive is alive and well.
