Hand turned by the shop owner in my workshop, twist action ballpoint pen. Made from Laburnum wood, with gold fittings, slimline fancy pen type. Finished in satin lacquer, choice of black or blue ink.
Laburnum is widely planted as an ornamental tree throughout Europe. It sometimes goes by the name Golden Chain, so named for its vertical rows of yellowish gold flowers that bloom in the spring. Because of the tree s small size, Laburnum is likely to remain available only on a small hobbyist scale. Laburnum is primarily only available within its natural range in Europe.
Laburnum wood is highly valued in woodturning due to its density, durability, and attractive appearance. Its rich, dark brown heartwood contrasts beautifully with the pale sapwood, and intricate grain patterns make it ideal for pen making. Heartwood color ranges from an orangish brown to a darker violet brown, darkening with age. Clearly demarcated sapwood is a pale yellow. Despite its density and hardness, laburnum wood is generally considered easy to work with, taking fine detail well and producing a smooth finish.
This pen is a classic example of a laburnum pen with lovely contrasting grain patterns and a wide range of colours. Felt carry case included.
