Gilded Ebony

The most formal piece in the room: black wood, gold scrollwork and a single red stone.

Form
Fountain pen
Material
Dark, close-grained blackwood
Hardware
Ornate gold cap with a red cabochon and an engraved gold nib
Edition
One of one. Never repeated.

This piece is from the studio archive. Because no two blanks are alike, it will never be made again, but William can make you one in its spirit: the same form, a material with its own story.

Lava & Ash

Fire meets ash: the resin was poured to flow into the burl's grain like lava into a cooling field.

Violet Tide: rollerball pen in deep violet resin cast around a golden burl island
Rollerball pen

Violet Tide

The burl sits like a shoreline in a violet sea; turn it in the hand and the tide moves.

Desert Lattice

Cholla is the skeleton a desert cactus leaves behind. Each opening is filled by hand, so no two lattices ever match.
