Full description

This exquisite fountain pen is made from richly patterned Thuya Burr wood. The wood is hand-turned by the shop owner, before hand pairing with high-quality, precision-engineered metal components purchased from the renowned UK supplier, Beaufort Ink. This is the actual pen you will receive. Satin finish in very durable melamine lacquer with final smooth wax coating.

Uniquely Beautiful Wood: Each piece of thuya burl has its own pattern of swirling "eyes" and rich colour, ensuring your pen is one-of-a-kind.

Thuya burr is a highly figured burl, nearly always sourced from the root burl of the tree. The figure features mesmerising, interlocked, and irregular grain with distinctive, perfectly round clusters of small knots called "eyes," similar to bird's-eye maple but generally darker and more pronounced.

The colour ranges from lustrous golden brown to orangishreddish brown, with darker streaks that can be nearly black. The color tends to darken as the wood ages.

Thuya burr wood has a very distinct, pleasant, and highly aromatic smell. It has a pronounced cedar-like scent with hints of pine and spice, often described as smelling like an old pencil sharpener when cut or sanded.
