Graduation gifts that are as unique
as your graduate can be difficult to find.
However, here at Expressions in Wood, we offer
individually handcrafted wooden gifts. Each
gift is created with wood that tells a story.
Each piece comes with a card with information about
the specific graduation gifts' wood and where it was
found as well as its story, it also includes a note
about the artist.
We have many items to choose from
that make wonderful and unique graduation
gifts. Choose from
Wood Pens,
Wood Clocks,
Hair Clips,
Wooden Boxes,
Wood Vases,
Wine Bottle Coasters,
Wood Hand Mirrors,
Wine Bottle Holders,
Bottle Toppers,
and
Golf Ducks. Because each
piece is individually handcrafted, each piece is
unique.
If you are searching for a graduation
gift with a meaning, olive wood has traditionally
stood for hope and new beginnings. After the
flood of Noah in the old testament, the dove brought
back an olive branch as the first sign of the
subsiding flood, thus symbolizing hope and new
beginnings.
If you do not see what you are
searching for, please drop us a note. We are
happy to work with you to create the perfect
graduation gift for your graduate.

Olive Wood Graduation Pen
My son-in-law's dad knows I am a wood fanatic. He
had a neighbor who was trimming trees and making a
firewood pile to share with his neighbors. He took
a bundle of trimmings and logs for his fire to keep
his house warm during the cold Sacramento winters.
He brought home his bundle and gave me a call. The
next time I visited Sacramento, CA I pursued the
firewood pile and rescued several pieces from
certain incineration. The olive wood used to create
this pen came eye to eye with a fiery furnace and
has instead found new life as this writing
instrument to warm your heart as you pen your
thoughts on cold winter nights.

What a gorgeous deep ebony wood! The strong and
bold ebony wood used to create this luxurious pen
was stowing away in someone's trunk for months. In
Sacramento, California I was visiting a wonderful
specialty wood shop, where I drool over the exotic
woods they have to offer. A guy pulls up in his
beat up old car with a trunk full of this amazing
ebony wood. The store owner, a few customers and I
ravenously scavenged up this marvelous wood. This
well traveled wood can help to pen your memoirs and
letters.

The Carob Wood used in this piece was from a tree
the city was cutting down on South G Street in
Lompoc, California. It was rescued from being
snarled at and pulverized by a beastly chipper
shredder! Now it can assist in writing lovely
letters and penning your secret thoughts rather than
being mulch.

Imagine composing your next letter with a small bit
of history. This gorgeous handcrafted wooden pen was
designed from the wood of an old walnut tree that I
stumbled across in Sacramento, California. For
thirty years I have held onto a few scraps of wood
from that wonderful old walnut orchard, waiting for
just the right project to bring out the true beauty
of this wood. You can still smell the walnut trees
in the air as they stood graceful and powerful every
time you pick up this pen. $25

The Chinese Elm wood used in this piece was a
trimming from a tree on South U Street in Lompoc,
California. My daughter and her boys were driving
through town one day and saw some tree trimmers.
She quickly rushed home to inform me of the "gold"
that lay waiting. As I approached the workers they
were quickly feeding this amazing golden Chinese Elm
wood into the chipper shredder to become mulch. I
quickly parked and asked if I could scavenge a few
pieces from their trimmings pile. They happily
granted my request. So the little piece of wood was
saved from pending doom to create this wood pen just
for you.$25

There is a local cabinet shop here in Lompoc,
California that has given me permission to "dumpster
dive" through their discards and scraps at the end
of the work day. One day I happened up the most
wonderful light walnut piece. The grain is abundant
and striated. The walnut wood begged to be rescued
from the dumpster and of course I was just the
person to rescue it and give it new purpose.
