Allow me to introduce myself. I'mhHaim Matza, 'the artist', owner and operator of the vast commercial empire known (to a select few) as Woodworking. I tried turning pens on my wood lathe in the mid '1970s and never looked back, improving my craft ever since.I have enjoyed woodworking throughout my life, but when I discovered pen making most other woodworking stopped. My collection of special woods, particularly suited to pens because of their grain, is quite extensive, and I keep finding new exciting species that I make into exquisite pens. Occasionally I make pens out of man-made materials, but my real love is wood, and deer antler. The colors and pattern found in nature continue to amaze me
