About the Timber
The Kentucky Coffee Tree is so named because early settlers (particularly in the state of Kentucky) used roasted seeds from this tree to make a coffee substitute.
The heartwood is an orange to reddish brown with the sapwood is a yellowish white sapwood and is very narrow and well defined against heartwood. It is very similar in appearance to Ash and Oak. The grain is straight and porous, with a coarse, uneven texture.
The Coffee Tree has good working characteristics and nearly every machining operation can be done with good results and it finishes well. It is mostly used for furniture, cabinet making and fence posts.

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.
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!
