Giovanni Pens

Johnathan "Giovanni" Burton is a very talented artist an an all around interesting fellow. You can see more about him at the artist He makes, and hand-paints, a wide variety of pens, using both wood and other materials. His pens are a significant cut above what you typically see; they are truely museum quality.

NELSONWOOD: Bryan Tyler Nelson operates a custom woodworking shop and does just a magnificent job of creating beautiful objects from both exotic and domestic wood. I first encountered Bryan because of his excellent bowl site and unusually well done pictures of his wooden objects and I am very pleased to welcome him as a site sponsor. I have corresponded with several of his customers and they, not surprizingly to me, just rave about the quality of his work and the excellence of his service. Although he specializes is bowls and turned boxes, he makes a wide range of objects and is available for commission work. In addition to his own store, NELSONWOOD:, Bryan also maintains a store on eBay which you can visit at: Nelsonwood on eBay and you will see from his feedback that his cutomers think highly of him.

Jewelry Box Veneers: this is my own site, on which I sell veneer to help support this site, and to provide a self-financing method of obtaining large numbers of wood samples to photograph for this site. I also sell veneer on eBay under the user name HobbitHouse, and as you will see if you check out my feedback on eBay, people who buy my veneers are quite satisfied. People have been very complimentary about the veneer that they purchase from the Jewelry Box Veneer site, especially regarding the care with which I present images so you can see EXACTLY what you are buying. The Jewelry Box Veneer site is targeted to the marquetry and small craft trade --- if you want bulk veneer, you can find better prices elsewhere, including my own eBay sales, but if you want to see EXACTLY what you'll be getting for a small project, this is a place where you can do it.
