Several of the men from my church help deconstruct an old house(maybe 150yrs or more old) on a lot that we bough for parking. I salvaged some oak from a 6x6 Oak foundation timber and made each worker a souvenir of the work.

This is a closeup of one example of the ten.
All are PSI Chrome Executive style pens.

I also made one from some flooring from one of the rooms but didn't like the way it turned. It was a soft pine of some sort and tore out pretty bad. I also think it was a lot newer than the rest of the house.

This one has nothing to do with the house. It is made from stabilized old Chestnut(sap wood) from a friends barn he tore down. Lots of tracks through this wood.
Woodcraft Gold click pen.
