About Us

Since 1995, I’ve been all-in on woodworking, and by 2007, I was hooked on woodturning. But in September 2018, things really took off when I launched Stadium Pen Blanks (SPB)—a thrilling offshoot of Hardin Penworks. It all started with the discovery of pen blanks made from legendary stadium materials. But the real spark? The Boston Red Sox’s epic 2018 World Series win! From a single broken Fenway Park seat, SPB was born, turning history into high-quality, one-of-a-kind writing instruments.

Since then, SPB has grown into a goldmine of history and craftsmanship, sourcing materials from 220+ stadiums (representing over 240 teams), 35+ U.S. Navy ships, 50+ vintage aircraft,  a variety of other legendary sites, and even Scotch whisky barrels! Every blank tells a story, capturing the spirit of these legendary places and artifacts.

But we don’t just sell pen blanks—we set the gold standard for Certificates of Authenticity (COAs). Our professional, sleek COAs have inspired vendors, distributors, and artisans alike to up their game, making products even more collectible and credible.

Beyond our signature pen blanks, SPB proudly owns and distributes some of the best crafting products in the game:

- Maneater Crafts HDPE molds – Tough, precise molds for resin casting.
- Magic Juice (MJ) – The go-to polishing compound for a flawless finish.
- Craft Coat (CC) – A high-performance finish for pens and woodworking projects.
- JB Royal Resin – Known for vibrant colors, durability, and easy use.
- BlackLine Tools – Cutting-edge carbide lathe chisels (Distributor).
- T Shadow Carbide Tools – Featuring the Magical Skew and Negative Rake Scraper (Distributor)

At Stadium Pen Blanks, we live for the magic of craftsmanship and history. Whether you’re crafting pens from legendary stadium seats, working with rare historic materials, or diving into your next resin project, we’ve got the tools and inspiration to bring your creations to life. Let’s celebrate history, artistry, and epic stories—one project at a time!
