Creating handcrafted wooden pens requires special skills and knowledge of techniques, materials, and tools that enable reaching the final product through a lengthy process, demanding great attention.

Finishing is a particularly important phase, determining scratch resistance, coverage, and gloss of the pen. At the end of the process, a detailed quality check is performed.
