HANDMADE PADAUK FOUNTAIN PEN
A really lovely Padauk fountain pen that is constructed from a piece of reclaimed Padauk with Chrome and Black plated fittings. The pen is “pillared” so that the cap can be screwed on the back of the pen to extend it for anyone who likes to use a longer pen. It comes complete in a velvet pouch for protection (or black velvet pen case as an added extra).

About This Timber Pen
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.
Padauk is a vibrant and durable hardwood native to tropical regions of Africa and Southeast Asia. It is renowned for its striking reddish orange to deep red heartwood, which darkens over time to a rich, reddish-brown colour with exposure to light. The grain is typically interlocked or wavy, often displaying unique and appealing figuring patterns, while its medium to coarse texture gives the wood a natural, satin-like finish when polished.
Highly regarded for its strength and workability, Padauk is used extensively in fine furniture making, cabinetry, flooring, and decorative woodturning. It is also a popular choice for crafting musical instruments, including drum shells and guitar bodies, thanks to its excellent acoustic properties. The wood is easy to machine and shape, and it takes stain and finishes well, enhancing its vibrant colour, which darkens to a deep brown with age, and smooth texture.
Padauk is known for its excellent durability and resistance to abrasion, moisture, and insect damage. Its stability under varying environmental conditions makes it a reliable choice for both indoor and outdoor applications, including structural components and high-traffic surfaces.
As one of the most visually striking exotic hardwoods, Padauk continues to be a favoured material among woodworkers and craftsmen. Sustainable harvesting practices are essential to ensure its availability for future generations. With its eye-catching colour, workability, and resilience, Padauk remains a top choice for artisans and manufacturers seeking a unique and durable wood.
