The tree had sentimental value for two neighbours who had known each other from childhood, so it was rather fitting that I was able to create something ‘long-lasting’ from its branches. Because of the size and shape of the off-cut the grain unusually goes across the pen rather than along its length. This gives it an almost irridecent appearance with the medullary rays radiating from the centre.

The metal fittings have a gunmetal grey enamel finish to make them hard wearing. Both pens have a contemporary look and feel to them with the clip curving around to become part of the upper pen body.

The pen is operated by holding the main body in one hand and rotating the tip  to eject the writing tip and then turning in reverse to retract to safety.

The Parker style refill can be removed by unscrewing the metal tip and sliding out the spring and refill.
