Our Story<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kevin began making woodturnings as a hobby in 2008.  Kevin enjoyed the creative process of working at his lathe and making turnings as gifts so much that he decided to start NC Pens in 2015. Selling his turnings at community events allows Kevin to share his remarkable woodworking skills and knowledge with others. His wife Cece assists with marketing, event registration, and website development. We love being a part of our customer\u2019s excitement when they purchase that unique gift for someone they care about. And yes, even if you buy yourself that \u201cI gotta have it\u201d item, it still counts as a gift!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
