Slimline Wooden Mechanical Pencil - Spalted Silky Oak Timber

The timeless, sleek design of the Slimline pencil is unsurpassable. It rests lightly in the hand and writes and sketches beautifully.

This pencil is handcrafted from Australian spalted silky oak timber. Spalting is a valued wood colouration process caused naturally by fungi. Spalting increases the contrasts of light and dark colours in the timber and makes brown and black lines running through the wood appear. This timber was grown on a beautiful block of land in Grafton owned by my father and fell due to natural causes and lay undisturbed in its bushland habitat enough years for the spalting process to begin. It was then carried on the shoulders of a man in a flannelette shirt, strapped onto the roof of a Toyota Landcruiser, travelled to sunny Queensland where is has been sawn into pens, pencils, letter opener and ice cream scoop blanks.

This wooden pencil is created by an artisan who hand turns each pencil on a wood lathe in North Brisbane. Using a meticulous thirteen step sanding and polishing process and 10 coats of CA we highlight the simple, innate beauty of the gidgee timber and create an exceptional, super glossy and durable finish. The natural uniqueness in the woodgrain and timber colour variations, means that each bespoke pencil we create are one of a kind.

The Slimline pencil is a pacer-style mechanical pencil, and has quality chrome fittings, find mechanical pencil refills here. We also handcraft Slimline pencils with gold fittings if you prefer so please Contact us for a custom order.
