About the Timber
Sapele is a West African timber that is red in colour that closely resembles Mahogany and used for windows, flooring and conservatories due to its durability. As Mahogany, particularly Brazilian, became scarce Sapele was used as a cheaper substitute for Mahogany and can be used for general joinery. It is very good for those who want a painted finish.

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!
