The Squire Pen - Australian Red Cedar (Brass 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 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 handcrafted timber body is a sleek 123mm, 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.

We also have the Squire available in silver fittings with Australian red cedar.
