FOG Wood

A custom handmade PennCasso pen crafted from FOG (Found On Ground) wood embodies a beautiful fusion of nature's raw beauty and human creativity. PennCasso starts by scouring natural areas like forests, parks, trails, or even parking lots searching for fallen branches or driftwood with distinctive characteristics. Each piece is chosen for its unique grain patterns, knots, and texture, ensuring it tells its own story of resilience and adaptation.

Once the perfect pieces of wood are collected, they undergo careful preparation. Any debris or dirt is gently removed, and the wood is cleaned and dried thoroughly to prepare it for crafting. Depending on the condition of the wood, it might be stabilized or reinforced to enhance its durability and workability.

Using traditional woodworking techniques and tools, PennCasso then transforms the wood into the body of the pen. With skillful precision, the wood is shaped and turned on a lathe, revealing its natural beauty and character.

To complement the organic aesthetic of the wood, the pen's hardware is chosen in a complementary style, featuring warm tones like antique brass or copper. This creates a harmonious balance between the natural and the man-made elements of the pen's design.

In the end, a custom handmade PennCasso pen made from FOG wood is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that celebrates the wonders of the natural world and the skillful craftsmanship of its creator.
