USS California teak decking pens by Larry Lorance!




From the inbox:

"...I just wanted to share with you the pens I made from the USS California wood I ordered form you. 

So far, I've given three pens to families of Navy vets who were at Pearl Harbor on December 7.  Two served on the California. 
 
-Larry Lorance"

It's always great seeing pictures of pieces made out of our wood but what we really love is being able to be a part of special projects such as this one!

Our batch of USS California Teak Decking is special load of wood to say the least:
  • Commissioned in 1919, decommissioned 1947, scraped 1959
  • Attacked & sunk at Pearl Harbor in 1941, raised and repaired a year later, used in WWII and Korea
  • Cut almost 100 years ago!!!
 As mentioned before, it's great to see this wood going into pieces that truly do the wood justice!
