Bolígrafos Richard Altenhofen Arizona

Tema: Rollerball

Estas hermosas plumas artesanales combinan tres elementos que representan a Arizona: el cobre, un recurso natural vital; la turquesa, la piedra preciosa del estado; y el mezquite, un árbol que crece en sus regiones desérticas. En la creación de esta pluma se utilizaron nudos de mezquite, cosechados durante la limpieza de terrenos para la bodega Javelina Leap, y la madera lleva el logotipo del artesano. Los herrajes de cobre cuentan con un recubrimiento epoxi transparente para protegerlos.

Hecho a mano en Arizona por Richard Altenhofen
Recargas y tinta disponibles fácilmente a través de Internet y en excelentes tiendas de artículos de oficina.

    I always have to chuckle when people refer to my "studio." My workspace is my garage. I have a full, but compact, wood shop. My major tools for creation are my lathes (yes, I have two), bandsaw, and drill press.

    I create pens using my small, yet incredibly powerful and versatile, Sherline lathe. It's actually a metalworking lathe, but it works great for making small precise objects like pens.

    Most of the wood I use I collect myself right here in the Sonoran Desert. I am especially fond of desert ironwood. It is unique to the Sonoran desert. It is hard and dense- it doesn't float - and it exhibits intense chatoyance in bright light. I try to capture that in the photos of my pens. Another special wood of the desert is mesquite. Also a hard wood, its beauty is captured in its burls. The burls grow underground. So the only time you get a mesquite burl is when you dig up a tree. I let someone else do that work. Mesquite looks especially good when matched with turquoise and that's what led me to my Arizona Pen design: mesquite turquoise and copper.
