This is a handmade pen from Schimmel Fine Pens Historic wood collection.

It was carefully handcrafted using original wood from the Historic Oliver House in Bisbee, Arizona (Considered one of the most haunted places in America). This wood was personally given to Chad Schimmel by the owners of the Oliver House. Chad and Amy stayed in the Oliver house a few months ago and had a wonderful time, but they did stay in room #13, the most haunted of them all! The rich history of the Oliver House tells tale of many lost souls and a few ghosts that may have stuck around.

Since receiving the wood there have been some unexplained events happening to both Chad and his wife. Doors closing, radio randomly turning on, shower turning on without assistance.

Could the spirits have traveled with this original plank or was there something special about this piece of wood? No telling!

Information card pictured comes with pen. Amazing pen with an amazing history!

Handmade

Chad has been on the lathe for well over 20 years, first learning to turn in junior high school. In the last 10 years he has specialized in pen turning, resin work, and segmenting, leaving his corporate job in 2013 to sell his art full time, and in 2016 opening Turners Warehouse, a turning supply store in Gilbert, AZ.  

Chad has been featured in Pen World magazine for his watch part pens, has had several local print and tv spots, sells his pens in a local artist collective, and for multiple years has participated in the largest art festival in the western united states.

Chad loves to teach about pen making and resin casting and loves to talk shop when he has the time, helping both new and experienced turners while continuing to grow his own skills. He has presented internationally for Record Power teaching about segmenting, and has done lots of local demos and classes. Chad also has a Youtube channel with over 27K subscribers where he posts instructional and maker videos, where he hopes to inspire others to create.
