About the Timber
Meranti 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. It 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.

More Details
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!
