My mid-range fountain pens are of a higher grade of fittings than standard fountain pens. The pen writes beautifully, is well balanced and of a classic design. This Panga Panga Fountain Pen is made from a lovely piece of repurposed timber with Gold Plated fittings and an accented Centre Ring and Cabochon in Black Chrome that compliments this timber beautifully. Like a lot of best quality pens, the finished pen is not “pillared” so the cap cannot be fixed to the back of the pen.
The nib has an iridium point and comes with an ink converter, cartridges and is in a black velveteen pouch (or a Hard Velvet Pen Case as an added extra).
Please check all of the pictures as the pen being sold is the one in the picture and ready to post.

About the Timber
All of my wooden pens are made from recycled, repurposed or sustainable timber. Further information regarding the type of wood this pen is made from will be contained in the information sheet. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Any wood species, that is not listed as being recycled or repurposed comes from sustainable stock and is not listed in the CITES Appendices or on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Panga Panga is from East and South-East Africa (Congo, Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zimbabwe). This species is sometimes confused with its cousin Wenge which is very similar in appearance but grows in West and Central Africa.
This species is a deep, dark chocolate brown with alternating depths of colour and whitish/yellowish tissue which has the effect of stripes and swirls. This tissue sometimes appears light spots on the timber. It can also have marks and dinks that are very hard to remove particularly when the wood is thin, as in pen bodies. This species looks superb when laid as a parquet wood block floor, with the bold wavy-stripe appearance giving an added dimension and interest. It also works well as a striking border to a paler colour parquet block, such as sycamore or maple.
A hard wood, stable and heavy, so as a consequence it has exceptionally good resistance to wear properties. It glues satisfactorily and will take a polish well, with a very faint scent when sanded. A dense timber, which feels cool and hard to the touch with a smooth feel to it. This is an unusual species of great interest and quality.
