Allywood Creations

Please enjoy your original, hand-crafted Allywood pen. My name is Alex and I made my first wood project at age six. I took my first wood shop class in the 7th grade and continued these classes in high school with hopes to get a date to Prom, being the only girl in the wood shop class!

I was born with a rare, life-threatening disease called Fanconi Anemia (FA) and, in my 26 years, I have already survived a difficult bone marrow transplant. I have also endured multiple hand surgeries because I was born without a functioning thumb and limited hand muscles. Doctors said I would probably not be able to tie my own shoes but I have far surpassed their expectations.

The average life expectancy age for FA patients is only 33 years, so I am honored to share a part of my life with you through my unique business creation. I have a lot of work to do in the next few years.

Each pen is made with determination for life, love of the art of woodworking and hope for all who face adversity.
