Beautiful Handmade Pens made from Exotic Woods and Other Materials.

We now offer laser engraving of our pens. This is not a "send out" service. We do it right here in our own shop. We can engrave initials, names, company names, logos, and symbols of any sort on your pen for a very small fee. Since we can do it in house there is no wait time.

Bob Keyes

Has been handcrafting in wood for over 30 years. Furniture was the primary output with antique reproductions being the specialty until I discovered the rewards of making fine pens and pencils.  This passion has since grown into other gift items of similar design. I retired in 2007 as the manager of Automation and Technology for General Shale Brick. My home is in Corbin, Kentucky.

Corbin is located in the mountains of Southeast Kentucky about 30 miles north of the Tennessee border, on Interstate 75. The area here is lush mountain country and the primary vocation is agriculture. I have lived here since 1987, and intend to stay during my retirement and pursue my passion for quality pens full time.

Originally from Virginia, I have lived in several different locations in our great country. I have also worked for several different companies, but never gave up on my wood working pursuits. Our goal at Classic Impressions is to provide our customers with top quality, one of a kind products at a reasonable price. We are achieving this goal and building a customer base of repeat business which speaks for itself.

We hope to add you to our ever growing list of satisfied customers.
