About Striking Wood

My name is Graeme. I am a one-man operation producing handmade/handcrafted writing instruments (pens and pencils) based in Strathfieldsaye (near Bendigo), Victoria, Australia. With the help of my wife, Jan, we hopefully keep the business running smoothly and get your orders to you in a reasonable time.

Because this business is operated from my home workshop I can't have customers on-site. So orders are usually taken online and delivered by Australia Post.

My usual day job is in IT. I develop software, including this site, as well as providing training in software development. Please buy more of my products - I'd love to do this full time!

When I am away for work there may be delays shipping your order. This will be unusual and will be clearly indicated so you know what to expect.

I operate as a sole trader, ABN: 92 366 804 785

My main business web site is www.coogara.com.au

Postage calculations

Australia Post recently made some changes to their postage calculation API, which caused some problem on the site. This is an ongoing issue that I hope will be fixed soon.
