Broad Ballpoint Pen – English Ash – Gold Accents -08

Handcrafted Timber Pen - Broad Ballpoint - English Ash timber This Broad Ballpoint has been handcrafted in my workshop at Welcome Creek, Queensland, using English Ash timber. Each pen blank is carefully turned on the lathe, sanded smooth, and polished to reveal the natural grain of the wood. No two pens are ever identical. Durable Natural Finish The pen is finished with multiple coats of Aussie Oil friction polish, producing a durable high-gloss finish while still allowing the warmth of natural timber to be felt in the hand. Quality Components The pen features Gold accents, chosen for both durability and style. The Broad Ballpoint design provides a comfortable writing experience and a balanced feel. A Unique Gift A handcrafted pen makes a thoughtful gift for: Writers Pen collectors Office professionals Anyone who appreciates handmade craftsmanship For the Professional: "A writing instrument with a history of strength.

Natural Fragrance & Texture: Raw ash has a light, clean scent and a moderately coarse texture that provides a secure, "grounding" grip for the writer. Superior Durability: Renowned for its ability to absorb impact without splintering, making it a "hard-wearing" choice for an everyday carry pen. A "Living" Patina: Over time, ash timber pens can develop a unique natural patina, darkening slightly and gaining character with us   Recommended Care To maintain the pen’s luster, recommend that customers occasionally apply a small amount of food-grade mineral oil or micro-crystalline wax to prevent the timber from drying out in low-humidity environments.
