Just Turnings
Brisbane-based pen maker specialising in fountain pens made from imported and local resins.
Established in 2019, Just Turnings is the creative venture of artisan pen maker Stephen Just, whose passion for woodworking and fine craftsmanship has grown into a thriving small business. Stephen began his turning journey with a simple curiosity: how can raw materials be transformed into functional works of art, on the lathe. Over time, that curiosity evolved into a meticulous practice, where every pen is shaped with care, precision, and an eye for detail.
At the heart of Just Turnings is Stephen’s love of experimenting with colour and material. He works with the dazzling brilliance of DiamondCast, the distinctive patterns of Brooks Blanks, and the rich resins of Turnt Pen Co., while also creating his own hand-poured resins in a wide spectrum of hues. This combination allows him to craft pens that range from bold and adventurous to subtle and refined, ensuring there is something to suit every taste.
For Stephen, pen making is not just about producing writing instruments; it’s about sharing the joy of handmade artistry. His pens balance beauty and usability, appealing to writers, collectors, and gift seekers alike. With each piece, Just Turnings of Brisbane reflects Stephen’s dedication to creativity, craftsmanship, and the enduring charm of writing by hand.
