Slimline ballpoint pen, twist action ballpoint, black ink, handmade in my own workshop. Gun metal fittings protected with lacquer for a hard wearing finish then finished with a wax polish for a luxurious feel when writing. Impressive grain pattern makes unique gift.

Pau Rosa is a rare and very beautiful tropical wood. Depending on the specific region of the trees growth, colours can vary from a medium chocolate brown to an almost Padauk-like red or orange, or even a mixture of such colours which can also include yellows and purples (also like Padauk). It is a very dense wood, with grains which are typically wavy or interlocked, and moderately course. Despite its density, it is considered relatively easy to work and turns, glues and finishes well.

This wood species is not listed in the CITES Appendices, and is reported by the IUCN as being a species of least concern.

A unique and genuinely hand turned pen made from very rare exotic wood on the lathe in my workshop. This is the actual pen you will receive, comes with free felt carry pouch.
