The Smiths


Jim & Linda Smith

I have enjoyed woodworking for over 50 years, but my passion for woodturning only emerged 15 years ago when we moved to St. Petersburg, Fla.  I was mentored by a good friend who continues to assist me when I encounter a challenge.


In our different ways, Linda & I appreciate art in many different forms with a special emphasis on wood. We approach my work in wood from different angles but agree that wood turning offers a unique opportunity for unlimited form and shape. While Linda can not tolerate the dust that woodturning creates, she has a great eye for form and shape. Sometimes my creative side becomes lost in the process however I know that I can trust in Linda's opinion on the proper shape.


                     


History

 The PenSmith, LLC was founded in 2000 to meet the growing demand for my pens & pencils made from rare and exotic woods. From there we have grown the company to small niche player in the peppermill and woodturning marketplace.


Our goals are simple, make a good product at a fair price and stand behind what we sell!
