Hendrie Hall Reclaimed Lumber
After a two-year renovation project, Hendrie Hall reopened in January 2017. As part of the renovation, Yale Bowls was invited to take parts of the floorboards, doors, banisters, or other debris that could be used to make bowls and pens to remember the history of Hendrie Hall. As part of the wood gathering process Yale Bowls also collected a old rosewood marimba that was to be thrown out.
Since Hendrie Hall has been reopened to the University, pens made from the reclaimed lumber have been used extensively as gifts for visitors to the School of Music. One prominent visitor was Yo-Yo Ma who received a pen made from the rosewood marimba.
This pen was hand-turned from wood reclaimed from Hendrie Hall at 165 Elm Street, part of the Yale School of Music. The Hall began its renovations 2015 and is scheduled to finish 2017. Wood from the doors, floors, banisters and even an old rosewood marimba was collected for repurposing all of which were poised for the landfill. These beautiful dark red colored pens were made from the marimba which believe is a rosewood.
Pen also comes with a designer box and a card describing the history of the wood.
