Wooden Phoenix Pen (Celery Top Pine Timber: Antique Pewter Fittings)

The Phoenix pen is a very unique pen with the antique pewter fittings fully capturing the myth in great detail. Flames are depicted at the tip of the pen, the phoenix is captured rising from the ashes and the clip details the majestic tail of the phoenix. An amber crystal on the clip and cap add to the beauty and majesty of this regal bird.

The phoenix bird was recently popularised by the Harry Potter books and films. This sacred firebird said to have spectacular feathers of gold and red. Its story has roots in many ancient civilizations - most notably the Egyptian and Greek. After 1,000 years the phoenix builds itself a nest of twigs and branches, which then burns fiercely until they are both ashes. From the ashes a young phoenix appears, renewing the life cycle of the bird and making the phoenix virtually immortal and invincible. This pen is particularly meaningful to those who have been through difficult times and triumphed.

This Phoenix pen is made from Australian celery top pine timber. This timber primarily grows in the western highlands of Tasmania and is so named for the celery-like appearance of its leaves (which are actually flattened stems not leaves). It is considered a high value and speciality species by the timber industry. The timber is a pale and creamy colour with clearly defined growth rings. Celery top pine timber is strong and durable, being highly prized by fine furniture makers and wooden boat builders. The wood is commonly used for flooring, ship masts, furniture, cabinet work and spindle turning.

This wooden pen is created by an artisan who hand turns each pen on a 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. The natural uniqueness in the woodgrain and timber colour variations, means that each wooden pen we create is one of a kind.

The Phoenix pen is a solid, medium plus weight pen (65g) with a silent, smooth twist mechanism and features a black ink Parker style refill. Purchase quality Parker style refills below.
