"Seamus Rooney began his venture into the penturning world in the fall of 2008. Always looking to raise the bar with each new pen blank design, he began the art of casting using different mediums.  In 2011 he was accepted into the Pen Makers Guild which featured the unveiling of his signature Tru-Quarter™ blank design using real U.S. Coins!  From coins to snakeskins, he has also perfected the art of flawless snakeskin blank casting using poly-resin. This process begins each year when the snakes are harvested, skinned, tanned and prepared to be used for future pen blanks.
