  • A large part of our collection of pens are hand turned from historic wood from military posts and ships.

History You Can Hold in Your Hand

Preservation Pens​ combines our family's love of learning about history with our fascination with how things work. We decided to purchase some tools in December and try to make our first prototype of an entirely original ballpoint pen of our own creation. We began having discussions about reclaimed and recycled materials to create unique writing implements with a rich story and a rich history to them. Soon, people noticed our pens at school and at work and began asking us to make some for them. Some individuals approached us with the idea of using wood from special objects such as family heirlooms, and military-related hardwoods, and Preservation Pens was born. We now have wood from three battleships and seven different woods that have been to war.

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders

We can customize many of our products with names, dates, logos, and other items. Send us a message and any artwork you have if you need help deciding what you’d like or have another question. We respond within the same day if possible.

Care instructions

We usually seal wooden boxes and signs in a clear glaze but we can also add a little extra moisture protection when asked. Pens are sealed in several layers of CA glue and polish. The coatings will wear over time.

Faster Orders

We do our best to accommodate customers who need orders by a specific or special date. Just send us a message and we will let you know if we can get an item to you faster. Keep in mind we hand-build or turn many of our items and for quality control purposes we add extra time in case we need to start over from scratch. We do not like to send out items that are imperfect.

Damaged items

Please inspect orders within a week of receiving them. We can repair or replace some items that are defective but after a week you need to make a claim through USPS for items damaged in shipping. We are not responsible for items damaged after you receive them and we do not take back custom orders.
