The Squire Pen - Rain Tree Timber (Silver Fittings)

The Squire pen is a writing instrument with a slight nod to a bygone era while retaining modern functionality and charm.

This pen is created from rain tree timber. Rain trees are massive umbrella-shaped trees that grow to 60 m tall with a crown up to 80 m wide. It is particularly valued for its timber, and for shading crops but also supplies medicine for stomach ache, sore throats and skin conditions. Rain tree pods are edible, containing a brownish, sticky, liquorice-like, sweet-flavoured pulp. A lemon-like fruit drink can also be made from the pulp. The popular, heavily striated rain tree timber is straw to smokey coloured and commonly found growing in tropical north Queensland, though it is not an Australian native.

The handcrafted timber body is a sleek 123 mm, and the cap and tip finials feature low profile diamond texturing known as knurling. The antique silver plated fittings are extremely durable and provide great contrast with the hand lacquered finish. The smooth twist mechanism reveals a Swiss tungsten carbide ball, Parker style refill with West German ink. 

Every Squire pen receives personal attention from our wood artisans on the wood lathe. Our immaculate attention to detail ensure the innate beauty of the timber is highlighted.

The Squire pen is presented in a black pen box or you can choose an engrave-able timber box.

A personalised pen is extra special. Type your engraving along with your font suggestion in the text box provided. We will contact you to confirm your engraving prior to it being laser engraved. Please specify if the pen engraving is for a left or right hander.
