The artists create amazing pens and other unique items and have come a long way from their very first pen. “We are using 5500 year old bogwood and turning it into usable pieces of art, it’s pretty cool,” says Kyle.
Based in Barrie, the two sell their wares online and at events, markets and festivals like Kempenfest. “We had such an amazing response at Kempenfest,” says Carly. “People can send us the wood from a tree that means something to them and we turn it into a memorable gift. It could be a tree from their family cottage or a piece of wood they found washed up on shore during a vacation, it’s all about creating something special.
