It is amazing how many times a year I make a pen out of the pruned branches of a favorite tree or a sentimental family tree. I have made all styles of pens from all types of Maple, Apple, Cherry, and even oak. I have the equipment to take a pruned branch and dry it so I can cut it down to make a pen or bottle stop. This drying process normally takes a week or two.  Below is a Sierra Style pen made from a pruned Japanese Maple branch.

Below is a box made to go with a pen made from a branch. Just send me a digital picture of the home and you can have that picture put on your box.
