Sierra Wooden Mechanical Pencil - Spalted Silky Oak Timber

    This silky oak timber is spalted. 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. The natural uniqueness in the woodgrain and timber colour variations, means that every item we create is one of a kind.

    This distinctive 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 process and 10 coats of CA we highlight the simple, innate beauty of the Australian silky oak timber and create an exceptional and durable finish.

    This sierra style mechanical pencil has black and 24 karat gold plated fittings and features a click mechanism which reveals the pencil lead. It comes ready to draw with one 0.7mm pencil lead, you can find mechanical pencil refills below. It has an eraser at the end of the cap. To access the eraser, remove the end cap; to access the pencil lead chamber and add your refills, remove the eraser.

    We can also handcraft you a sierra style timber pen that will match your timber pencil or you can purchase a matching pen and letter opener in spalted silky oak. Please contact us for a custom order.

    This pencil comes standard in a protective velvet pen sleeve. You can add a quality black presentation box or an engrave-able timber box below.
