Introducing Myself
Derek Thomson
"I began wood turning when I retired twenty years ago.
It was a complete contrast to my work as a Postmaster, and I gain terrific pleasure from producing a beautiful pen from a chunk of wood or from other materials."
Dates for 2024 Craft Fairs
Hopetoun House Christmas Fair
29th November - 1st December
Merchiston Castle School Christmas Fair
Saturday 7th December
Outboard at Scotts, South Queensferry
Sunday 8th December
We have recently purchased a laser engraver
and can now personalise pens.
These can be made from olive wood (as seen here)
or oak whisky cask wood.
The pens come in a presentation box.
Ballpoints are £25, Rollerball and Fountain Pens £45.
There is no charge for engraving.
