In this episode of the Appelboom Podcast, we’re excited to sit down with Lori Tata and Luke from Papa J Woodworks to dive into the fascinating world of custom-made pens. From humble beginnings during the Covid era, Papa J Woodworks has quickly become a leading name in the industry. Discover the story behind this remarkable brand, founded by Luke and his wife, Peanuts, who is the mastermind behind the beautiful color combinations that make these pens truly unique.

We also learn the heartwarming story behind the brand's name, "Papa J," honoring Luke’s father-in-law, a generous man who helped people with addictions. This touching tribute adds even more depth to the brand’s identity.
