Wooden Pen - Gearshift: Black Bean Timber (Chrome Fittings)

The Gearshift pen range is bold and classy. The mechanism features a five-speed H pattern shifter and can be shifted just like the real thing! The cap features a car tire with a true to life tread and hubcap. The pen tip features the same tyre tread as the cap. The shifter handle includes an etched five-speed pattern. The final touch is an industrialised crowbar clip attached to the gearshift pen body with two small screws. The quality metal fittings are a striking contrast with the individually handcrafted timber pen body.  This pen has antique chrome fittings, antique pewter and antique brass are also available.

Every wooden pen is created by an artisan who turns each pen on a wood lathe in North Brisbane. Using a meticulous thirteen step sanding and polishing process and 10 coats of CA we highlight the simple, innate beauty of the timber and create an exceptional, super glossy and durable finish.

This Gearshift pen is made from black bean timber. Black bean is an Australian rain forest tree with dark-brown to almost black timber and can sometimes be streaked with lighter coloured bands. The grain is quite coarse and often features striated lines. It derives its name black bean from the large bean-like fruit which hang down like pendants. The timber in this pen has been harvested locally from the Moreton Bay region in Queensland. The natural uniqueness in the woodgrain and timber colour variations, means that each wooden pen we create is one of a kind.

This pen uses easily replaceable Parker style refills. It comes with a premium black ink Parker style pen refill. You can purchase our quality Parker refills below.

Gearshift pens come standard in a quality black presentation box.
