About us

Based in the small town of Ohrigstad, South Africa, Altus Bylsma is the creative mind and skilled craftsman behind Bylsma Handcrafted Pens.

In September 2019, Altus decided to turn his lifelong passion for woodworking into a business, and Bylsma Handcrafted Pens was born.

Every pen that Altus creates is distinctly unique, thanks to the beautiful natural wood grains that he hand-selects for each one. No two pens are ever exactly alike, making them truly special keepsakes that can be enjoyed for many years to come.

Altus takes great pride in his work, and it shows in every stunningly crafted pen that comes out of his workshop. Whether you’re looking for a gift for a special occasion or simply want to treat yourself to something truly special, a Bylsma Handcrafted Pen is sure to impress.
