About Us

Meet the Owners!

Welcome to Castaway Creations LLC! Founded in 2019 by Don Van Dyne, our journey began with a deep fascination for knives, blacksmithing, and the art of crafting unique knife handles. Don's passion led him to experiment with stabilizing wood and casting knife scales, which soon evolved into an interest in resin casting for a variety of uses. His creative exploration eventually landed on pen blanks, where he has developed a distinctive, one-of-a-kind style using various innovative techniques. 

In 2024, Don took a leap and retired from his corporate job of 30+ years to go full time with Castaway Creations LLC. Around this time, his girlfriend Jami joined his business, bringing her skills in website designing and 3D printing. With their combine expertise, Castaway Creations expanded to include diamond painting and other resin cast and 3D printed items.

Today, Castaway Creations is more than a business-it's a reflection of Don and Jami's shared passion for creativity and craftsmanship. We're thrilled to share our work with you and can't wait to see where this journey takes us next!
