The Story

Syd & Manni

Syd & Manni are a grandfather and grandson duo from Sandgate, QLD, AUS. Born out of grief and Syd losing his sight, the two built their own backyard workshop.

The difference

Authenticity & Care

Each pen is numbered and comes with its timber origin , velvet pen bag, pen box, book mark and a certificate of authenticity.

Sustainable

Reclaimed Timber with a Story

We rescue fallen branches, fire scarred wood, old fence posts and forgotten offcuts.
Each piece of wood carries its own history — no two pens are ever the same.

Every Pen Tells a Story

Hand-turned by Syd (who works by feel due to vision loss) and finished by his grandson, Manni.
Each pen is1 of 1— no repeats.
Crafted from reclaimed Australian timber.
All profits support Syd’s taxi trips and the tools and parts that keep him turning.
