About The Timber
Olive wood is a beautiful type of wood and is used in many luxury goods. Olives are a huge economic importance in the Mediterranean and
the trees are never harvested for their wood. So, all olive wood is limited to tree clippings, branches, and trees destroyed by storms or
disease.
The trees themselves grow from 25 to 50 feet tall. The diameter of these trees can reach anywhere from 3-5 feet and the colour is a creamy
yellow/brown with dark brown or black contrasting grain. It is this that really makes olive wood stand out so much as the grain can be curly
or wavy in shape and also may be straight, interlocked, or wild.
Olive trees have been around for a very long time. The earliest record of olive tree groves were recorded to be around 4000 B.C. Many
people draw olive trees in backgrounds of religious paintings because they are prevalent in the holy land of Jerusalem. Olive trees are
actually quite significant in most religions, however for everybody olive trees are a symbol of peace and beauty.
-------------------------------------------
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.
