About The Timber
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. 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.

General Details
Every pen is unique each being made using sustainable, reclaimed, recycled timber or resin and fitted with top quality components. Once turned and sanded, to give the best possible protection it has numerous coats of finish and then a polish. To protect you pen it comes in a velvet sleeve, unless otherwise stated, full instructions on the care of the pen and a certificate of authenticity, confirming that I personally turned the pen and the date it was constructed.
This pen body is made from timber which, being a natural material, makes each piece unique in colour and figuring, and 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!
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. Also be aware that the buyer is responsible for any import and custom taxes.
Please note that non UK buyers are responsible for
any taxes and custom charges made once the pen has been posted and left the country.
