Treasures to last
The writing instrument you carry speaks volumes about you – make sure you make the right impression with a custom wooden pen made to order exclusively for YOU!
There is nothing more beautiful than a well turned wooden pen, whether it is a Fountain pen, Rollerball, Retractable, or a pencil. Combine the high quality components along with the amazing exotic woods and you are left with a stunning writing implement.
I produce several variants of wooden pens and pencils, and many different styles within those categories add to that the different woods, the different grains in each piece of wood and the subtle design differences when turning each wooden pen, and you are guaranteed a totally unique and individual writing piece.
You are probably already aware that the woods I use come from all over the world, but what you may not know that the wooden pen components especially the fountain pens and rollerballs are also sourced from around the world, so as to provide you with the highest quality wooden pens available.
I make a huge selection of Wooden pens from gold plated click pens through to rhodium plated fountain pens black titanium pencils, and for connoisseurs and collectors alike there is the Limited Edition Emperor Fountain Pen featuring an inconspicuous laser engraved edition number on the end cap next to the clip. In addition, every pen is supplied with a handmade solid 18k gold 750 broad point fountain nib. This solid 18k gold nib is used by many of the world's top pen makers on their very finest pens.
Maybe you have a piece of wood that you want to keep and make a pen from. If you have such a piece just contact me and I will turn it into an heirloom for you to cherish. .
With each pen you will a certificate of authenticity, stating that it has been handmade by myself and the type of wood used (I will try to identify the species as accurately as possible.)
I realise each wooden pen is much more than just a 'writing instrument.' It's a piece of time, a memory and a natural object that deserves the best of my attention to detail.
I hope you will cherish your pen, as much as I will have enjoyed making it!
Aftercare
Your pen is made of high quality components. However, wood by its nature will require some care to extend its beauty and life.
Try to keep your wooden pen or pencil away from extreme temperatures and extremes of wet and dry as this can cause the wood to split and shake.
• If your pen or pencil gets wet, dry as soon as possible with a soft dry cloth.
• Never place your pen on or near a heater or leave it in the sun as the heat will dry the pen and can cause the timber to split.
• To maintain your pen's shine, simply polish with a soft cloth occasionally. Periodically a furniture wax applied and buffed with a soft cloth will help to maintain the shine.
