Wooden Fountain Pen - Spalted Silky Oak Timber - (Classic Style)

The Classic pen range showcases sleek, modern styling with classy fittings and a comfortable, well balanced grip. 

This pen is created 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 our family. The silky oak tree fell due to natural causes and lay undisturbed in its bushland habitat enough years for the spalting process to begin. Several logs were carried on the shoulders of a man in a flannelette shirt and leather work boots and strapped onto the roof of a Toyota Landcruiser. The timber travelled to the north-side of Brisbane to be handcrafted into pens, pencils & letter openers. The natural uniqueness in the woodgrain and timber colour variations, means that each wooden fountain pen we create is one of a kind.

This fountain pen is created by an artisan who hand turns each pen on a lathe in North Brisbane. Using a meticulous thirteen step sanding process and 10 coats of CA we highlight the simple, innate beauty of the spalted silky oak timber.

The Classic fountain pen features 24kt gold plating and a tough iridium nib made in Germany. It has a threaded lid that can be effortlessly placed on the end of the pen so it never gets misplaced. The pen comes in a quality, black presentation case, or you can purchase a timber pen box below.

This pen uses fountain easily replaceable, black ink cartridges. The pen comes with one ink cartridge. (click here to buy extra fountain pen refills). It also features an environmentally friendly piston converter that allows you to refill your pen from bottled ink.
