Description
This unique twist action ball point pen was created using a piece of locally sourced Yew. Yew is relatively uncommon, and larger tree trunks are usually hollow. Perhaps among the hardest of all softwood species, Yew is certainly a unique wood species. Its density and working characteristics are more inline with a heavy hardwood than a softwood, yet its tight, fine grain and smooth texture give it a lustrous finish. Yew is extremely flexible, yet strong, making it ideally suited for use in archery bows. In fact, Yew was the wood of choice for English longbows in medieval warfare.
The metal fittings of this pen have a highly polished gold finish to contrast with the highly polished black grip and end cap. The polished wooden body of the pen is separated from the polished grip by an attractive engraved gold band.
A black Parker type refill is fitted as standard, but can easy be changed by carefully pulling the lower metal section from the coloured part of the pen. The metal twist mechanism is then unscrewed to reveal the refill.
This standard refill can be purchased at most stationary stores.
