Each handmade Item can be engraved.  I do not charge extra for engraving; however, since I have to out-source this particular service, I do pass on my cost from the engraver to the purchaser.  This is $10.00 per item engraved. 

Segmented pens made of a variety of different exotic and domestic woods are available upon request.  Depending on the complexity, these may vary in price.  Please ask about a specific design.  The Exotic Mix pen is $35.00 and will be the least expensive segmented pen.

Engraved office nameplates with slots for pens and other items (usually a pen and letter opener) are available also.
