The body of the pen was made using a piece of Walnut recovered from a broke shotgun stock. After having turned the blank to size it was sanded with steadily reducing grit size papers before coating with sanding sealer to fix the grain. Against abrasive paper of 1200 grit was used to de-nib the surface before eight coats of Melamine laquer were applied to give a hardwearing surface.

The black ink is contained in a standard ‘Parker’ type refill which can be accessed by carefully unscrewing the tip to reveal the refill. Replacement is simply a reverse of the process.

This elegant pen is made from highly polished Olive wood with black plated metal components.  Olive is a native of Europe and East Africa. Olive trees are commercially important throughout the natural regions where they grow. There are several subspecies and hundreds of cultivars of Olea europaea; the olives harvested from the trees are made into olive oil. Because of the fruit’s economic importance, healthy, cultivated Olive trees (O. europaea) aren’t felled for timber. Availability is generally limited to pruned branches, trimmings, and diseased/storm damaged orchard trees. Short lumber, turning squares, and burls are occasionally available from wild trees, as well as the closely related East African Olive (O. capensis). Prices are usually very high.

The Tech Olive Wood pen has a super smooth, quiet click mechanism. The pen comes with a black ‘Parker’ type refill installed. Replacements can be obtained from most good stationers.
The refill may be changed by simply unscrewing the black pointed tip.

A velvet sleeve is supplied for everyday protection

You’ll also receive a Certificate of Authenticity with each pen ordered.

The main body of the pen is hand turned from Thuya Burr which is found mainly in the Atlas mountains of Morocco, but there are sub-populations to be found in Malta and Southern Spain. The colour is generally an orangish or reddish brown, tending to darken with age to a medium to dark reddish brown. It is nearly always exported and sold as burls from the root of the tree, with the plain or unfigured wood of little commercial value. Thuya Burr  is usually used for carvings, veneer, decorative boxes, turned objects, and other small speciality wood items, such as your pen!

Once the body of the pen had been turned down to size and shape it was sanded with numerous grades of abrasive from 240grit down to 1200. A coat of sanding sealer was applied to help obtain a smooth finish by knitting the woods fibres together. This was then lightly sanded again with 1200g before 6 thin coats of Melamine lacquer were applied each being allowed to harded, denibbed and the the next applied.

To change the standard ‘Parker’ typre refill the tip is unscrewed from the body, carefully ensuring the sring is not lost. once removed the new refill is inserted, the scring slid over the neck of the refil and the tip screwed back into place.

The grain was sealed using thin viscocity CA adhesive to bind the fibres togeter befor the surface was finished using several ever decreasing grade of abrasive paper. Once smooth,  two coats of cellulose sanding sealer was applied. A light rub with 3000 grit abrasive pad increased the sheen before several coats of Melamine lacquer were applied.
