About Us
David’s first memory of woodworking dates back to when he was only five years old, helping grandpa hot-glue cedar shingles to the roof of a bird house. In the many years following, weekends were highlighted by trips to grandpa’s woodshop, where they built everything from toy cars, to bow-and-arrows, to chess sets.
This passion for woodworking reached new heights as David studied the art of luthierie (handcrafting guitars), while supposedly studying economics at college. In one particularly memorable and heretofore undisclosed incident, David spilled an entire bucket of varnish – used for sealing guitars – in his college dorm room. Rather than admitting to this mistake (using a dorm as a woodshop…), he “fixed” the varnish-stained floorboards by resurfacing and resealing the entire floor.
Beyond his work on musical instruments, David is a seasoned carpenter and furniture builder. Since 2016, he has handcrafted over ten thousand writing instruments, as Elder Pens has quickly become one of the leading brands in handcrafted wooden pens.
