Olive Pen Set
This is a Olive Pen Set, handmade Fountain and Rollerball Pens in a Pen Case that would make a great retirement, anniversary or birthday gift. They are constructed from a repurposed Mediterranean Olive Wood with Gold Plated Fittings.
Each pen is “pillared” so that the cap can be screwed on the back to extend it for anyone who likes to use a longer pen. The fountain pen nib is a size 5 medium and has an iridium point. The fountain pen comes complete with ink cartridges, a converter so that bottled ink can be used. The rollerball pen comes with a Schmidt refill already fitted.
Please be sure to check all of the pictures as this is the pen you are buying and it is ready to post.

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 usually harvested for their wood. So, most 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. The wood itself is fairly easy to work with, the only problems that may occur is that the wood is subject to cracking when working with a lot of grain

This pen is unique and made using sustainable or recycled timber or resin and top quality components. Once turned and sanded, to give the best possible protection it has a number of coats of finish and then a polish. It comes complete in a pouch, full instructions on the care of the pen and a certificate of authenticity, confirming that I have turned the pen personally and 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!
