English Ash Standard Fountain Pens
These are handmade fountain pens are made from recycled or repurposed English Ash. Ash is a hardwood and a good strong wood with a straight grain. It is a durable and has various uses from the production of sports equipment to cabinet making. The timber is nice to work with and usually a really good finish can be achieved. It is light in colour and can have a lovely orangish grain. It is also often stained to give the appearance a darker wood.
Due to its considerable strength Ash has had a number of uses throughout the ages ranging from making bows and shafts for spears. Today it is used mostly for interior work such as doors, staircases, architraves, skirting and the like. It is particularly good for bespoke kitchens and makes wonderful flooring. Its only drawback is Ash doesn’t have a natural durability for use outside and so needs to be treated beforehand. It was used used in the British motor industry in the mid 1900’s, most prominently on the Morris Minor Traveller.
