Full description

Two of these Sirocco style ballpoint pen are available and they have a stunning look by combining the dark coloured Bog Oak with gunmetal fittings, pice shown is for a single pen. 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.

Handmade by me in my workshop in Leigh.

Immerse 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:

The earliest stages of Stonehenge were being constructed in England.

The city of Uruk in Mesopotamia, often considered the world's first city, was flourishing.

The Minoan civilisation on Crete was in its formative stages.

This oak tree was a living, breathing organism during the Bronze Age.

Each 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.
