Both pens are all but identical, as they are made from the same piece of Bog wood and have the same fittings and finish. You won't find many pens made using this wood which is a shame as the maker is rewarded with amazing looking pens. Twist action mechanism with black ink. \r\n\r\nHandmade by me in my workshop in Leigh.\r\n\r\nImmerse yourself in history with this exquisite, handcrafted pen. This unique writing instrument is turned on a lathe from a rare piece of bog oak, a wood preserved in the anaerobic conditions of a peat bog for approximately 3500 years. To put its age into perspective, this wood was a living tree when:\r\n\r\nThe earliest stages of Stonehenge were being constructed in England.\r\n\r\nThe city of Uruk in Mesopotamia, often considered the world's first city, was flourishing.\r\n\r\nThe Minoan civilisation on Crete was in its formative stages.\r\n\r\nThis oak tree was a living, breathing organism during the Bronze Age.\r\n\r\nEach pen tells a story of an ancient tree, transformed by time and nature into a material with a deep, rich colour and a beautiful grain. This is more than just a pen; it's a tangible connection to the past.\r\n\r\nSKU dap569, 570","brand":"Dizzy Woodturning","product_id":8568206,"availability":"in stock","quantity":1,"product_expiration":"2026-06-12T09:10:55+00:00","images":["https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-71d7f805-6d4f-4efa-bf89-e8cea51fd69d-Handmade-Ballpoint-Pen-in-Ancient-Bog-Oak-Wood-Unique-Patterned-Pen-Unusual-Gift-3500-Years-Old-Wood-Collectors-Item-Dizzy-Woodturning/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-7617385a-9b9a-4cd9-a6fa-0ecdcdcaacff-Handmade-Ballpoint-Pen-in-Ancient-Bog-Oak-Wood-Unique-Patterned-Pen-Unusual-Gift-3500-Years-Old-Wood-Collectors-Item-Dizzy-Woodturning/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-a402aa10-0463-4885-9289-143c4a01f5e4-Handmade-Ballpoint-Pen-in-Ancient-Bog-Oak-Wood-Unique-Patterned-Pen-Unusual-Gift-3500-Years-Old-Wood-Collectors-Item-Dizzy-Woodturning/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-ec33556d-e5e0-4ba9-8133-44eaf35da2b5-Handmade-Ballpoint-Pen-in-Ancient-Bog-Oak-Wood-Unique-Patterned-Pen-Unusual-Gift-3500-Years-Old-Wood-Collectors-Item-Dizzy-Woodturning/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-5c70f3c0-d22c-4cf1-aca3-463eae6550a3-Handmade-Ballpoint-Pen-in-Ancient-Bog-Oak-Wood-Unique-Patterned-Pen-Unusual-Gift-3500-Years-Old-Wood-Collectors-Item-Dizzy-Woodturning/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-9c941714-567f-49a0-97b4-b4ed84bb1ff4-Handmade-Ballpoint-Pen-in-Ancient-Bog-Oak-Wood-Unique-Patterned-Pen-Unusual-Gift-3500-Years-Old-Wood-Collectors-Item-Dizzy-Woodturning/public"]}
