Martin is the artisan woodworker behind Veridian Pen Studio. He spends most of his days ankle deep in wood shavings, hands on chisels, individually hand shaping every pen. ​​​​​​

“I coax raw, broody logs into svelte and functional writing instruments 

boasting intricate grain patterns, knots and burls. 

Enhancing Mother Nature’s flaws and beauty.

Pressing the smooth, polished timber shapes into pens is incredibly satisfying. 

Every pen created is intentionally unique and has my fingerprints at its heart.

Mother Nature itself is my endless source of inspiration.”
