Hello everyone! I will be back in my shop for the month of October and can do custom orders, just make your order before October 17. If you have been wanting a pen, now is the time! Books are open! Just send me a message and we can get your order processed.

I'll start making orders starting at the beginning of October.

Don’t you just hate having to pull your phone out to check the time? Now you can just look on your desk! I’ve been trying my hand at making desk and wall clocks out of gorgeous pieces of cherry burl that have been sitting in the garage for years. They’re unique, rustic, and for sale! These are the only two I have on hand at the moment, but can make more. Again, for your desk or wall! The first clock shown is $65 plus shipping, the second is SOLD!

I also dropped off two more at Nesting Goods the other day, and I also restocked them with pens! If you’re in the St. Joseph area, stop by and check them out!

These are all for sale unless otherwise stated in the comments of the photo. I can ship across North America and there is the option for engraving. If you’re interested in purchasing any of the pens you see here, contact me!

Are there any birthdays or celebrations coming up? Can't figure out what to get for the person that has everything? Consider a hand made pen? Run down to Nesting Goods in St. Joseph to check out their inventory of Great Penmanship pens. The ink is replaceable in all of the pens, and every pen is unique.

Even though I am not in the country at the moment, you can still buy pens! Head down to Nesting Goods and check out what they have in stock! Before I left, I dropped off all my pens there so you have a wide selection.

Also, do not forget that you can still order photography products on my site whenever! I just uploaded some of my best photos form Alaska and a few photos from Austria and the Netherlands too! Stop by and take a look at my photography and think of what would look good on your wall! https://www.greatpenmanship.com/photography

Hey all, it's been awhile since I have posted anything here.

Firstly, I wanted to let you know that I am doing well, and that I will be studying abroad for the next couple months. I started a new blog recently to detail my travels, which you can check out here: https://alexbergland.blog/

Additionally, I will be starting up specific social media accounts where you can follow my travels day-to-day, links to follow. . .

Restocked Nesting Goods with a lot of new stuff! I finished the semester, came home, and started cranking out brand new pen styles and new materials. I know a lot of you have procrastinated buying gifts, but time is running out! Nesting Goods is open every day until Christmas, so stop in and check out all their cool gift ideas, and make sure you check out the new pens!

Happy holidays, everyone!
