Today, I am so excited to introduce you to a true
West Virginian Artesian, Greg Cartwright, of Cartwright's Creations.

He is a lover of reclaimed wood of historical nature
and creator of works of art!

Greg (Cartwright's Creations) & I
A note from Greg
Dear Readers
I have provided two seam rippers to Lisa
so she can have one and one to give away.
They are both made from beautiful old growth oak which was reclaimed from the original train depot in Weston (Lewis County), West Virginia. Train service was established in Weston around 1880. This wood is representative of a great part of my passion for this venture in woodworking for me – that is finding wood with a story to it. I must admit that my main focus is pens and pencils but it really doesn’t matter what I am making as long as it is from wood (although I have recently added pens made of deer antler).

I truly love woods with a story and encourage you to browse the
Pens Section of Cartwright's Creations to see example of
works created with the different woods.
You will find a list of approximately 60 woods of varying ranges of historical and local significance along with some exotic woods which are in my collection just for their beauty.
I am always looking for special projects! If you have a special piece of wood, I would welcome the opportunity to make seam rippers or pens of various styles for family or friends. If you are interested, send me a picture of your piece of wood and please include a ruler in your picture so I can judge the dimensions of the piece. My contact information is available here
Happy Quilting
Greg Cartwright
