R1 Yellow with Grip

<p>This pen was handmade from the shaft of a broken Cooper Reactor 1 hockey goalie stick.
  It was stained yellow and there is a hockey stick tape \"grip\" area on the lower part.  I recessed the area for the tape slightly so the tape wouldn\'t add any bulk to the feel of the pen.  It was finished with a variety of waxes in order to maintain that wood like feel.</p><p><em>All of these pens are made from repurposing the shafts of broken vintage hockey goalie sticks.  The sticks are old and in many different stages of use.  Occasionally the shaft wood has had to be glued back together before a pen can be turned from it.  Additionally, most old sticks actually did not have solid wood shafts, rather the shaft sections were made with \"multi lam\" or \"ply\" wood.  Due to the nature of these manufacturing techniques combined with age, no 2 pens are identical and quite often the wood will not fully accept stains or dyes evenly in the finishing process.  Please look at the photos closely to be sure you are happy with the finish of the pen before purchasing.</em></p><p>[video width=\"1804\" height=\"1080\" mp4=\"https://www.coopergoalie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/IMG_9223.mp4\"][/video]</p>
