Vertex Wooden Fountain Pen - Red Cedar Timber

Vertex Fountain Pen

The Vertex is a bold, geometric masterpiece. It is a rugged, 142mm long fountain pen with a unique, magnetic, post-able cap.

The wood featured in this pen is Australian red cedar timber. Australian red cedar is possibly Australia's most celebrated native timber with its very fine grain in reddish brown and fine dark brown striations along the grain. In the 19th century red cedar dominated the interiors of colonial Australia and was used extravagantly for fine furniture and joinery in places such as Government House and Sydney Town Hall. Unfortunately many of the tall strands of red cedar were decimated on the NSW coast during the first 100 years of white settlement. In 1795 it became Australia’s first export as it was not economically sensible to send ships back on a six month voyage with an empty hold. Red cedar is still highly sought after and readily available in North Queensland. The natural uniqueness in the woodgrain and timber colour variations, means that each wooden pen we create is one of a kind.

The natural uniqueness in the woodgrain and timber colour variations, means that each wooden pen we create is one of a kind.The faceted chrome fittings contrast perfectly with the sleek handcrafted timber body and the tough stainless steel tip and premium iridium nib. It takes international standard ink cartridges and comes with one black sample ink cartridge. It also features an environmentally friendly piston converter that allows you to refill your fountain pen from bottled ink.
