About The Timber
Meranti Wood is a flexible wood with a variety of subspecies, and sources. The majority of the meranti wood species are utilized for
replacement doors and windows. Meranti is one of the easiest hardwoods to work with as it easily cuts, machines and sand nicely.
The Sapwood is lighter in colour and distinct from the heartwood which is red-brown darkening to a dark red. Planed surfaces are fairly
lustrous with striped figure on radial surfaces. Grey-coloured narrow streaks are often present on all longitudinal surfaces, caused by
concentric layers of resin canals. The texture is rather coarse but even, and the grain is interlocked and wavy.
-------------------------------------------
This pen is constructed from timber. Being a natural material each piece is unique in colour and figuring, which will slightly change colour
and darken in time. The pen may be smooth to the touch or you may be able to feel the grain, blemishes and faults in the wood under the
finish. Pens that are really smooth, with no blemishes are made of plastic!
Each pen is made using sustainable or recycled timber and top quality components. Once turned and sanded, to give the best possible
protection it has up to ten coats of finish and then a polish. It comes complete in a velvet sleeve, full instructions on the care of the pen and
a certificate of authenticity, confirming that I have turned the pen personally and in most cases the date it was constructed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All of my pens are UK post free and are usually dispatched within two days by 1st Class Mail (24 Tracked).
For orders outside the UK please see the overseas postage charges and these will send by Tracked Royal Mail International Standard.
Please note that buyers are responsible for any taxes and custom charges made
once the pen has been posted and left the country.

My
ethos
has
always
been
to
try
and
use
second
hand
or
reclaimed
timber
for
my
pens,
but
this
still
leaves
off
cuts
of
timber
or
pieces
that
are
not
suitable
due
to
faults
or
worm
and
are
more
or
less
of
no
use,
being
too
small
to
make
anything
from.
It
is
these
odd
pieces
that
your
pen is constructed from.
