Meet the Artist

Hello! My name is Brandon, but you can call me BJ. I am the owner and operator of BJ's Wood Creations. I officially declared my business in December 2015 and am extremely proud of this accomplishment in my life. I am 34 years old and have been turning pens and other wooden items for the past 4 years. My dad first taught me how to turn pens, and I have been enjoying this hobby with him ever since. I also enjoy going to the movies, spending time with friends and family, camping, painting, and listening to music. 

Accomplishments

To the right are a few ribbons I won at the Erie County Fair in 2013 for my hand turned pens! I also have displayed some of my items at the Roycroft Inn book store  in East Aurora.  

​To the left is  photo of my dad and I at the annual Baker Victory Night 2016, where I displayed a table with various items I handcrafted, and also performed pen-making demonstrations. My dad first taught me how to turn pens and other items and encouraged me to pursue my business. I am very grateful to have many family, friends, and staff members in my life to help me, support me, and encourage me with my business and my passions.
