Orange Scrap Wood Pen
A lovely Fountain Pen has been made from wood offcuts and Orange Dyed Resin with Chrome Plated Fittings to give a unique effect that compliments this pen nicely. It is well balanced and enjoyable to use. The finished pen is “pillared” meaning that the cap can be screwed on the back of the pen to extend it. This is ideal for anyone who likes to use a longer pen. It also comes in a black velveteen pouch to protect it (or black velvet pen box with white and blue interior for an extra charge).
Each pen is unique and made using wood, resin and top-quality components. Once it has been turned and sanded, to give the best possible protection, it has several coats of finish and then a polish.
This pen can be converted to Rollerball pen at no extra cost. Just email or message me.
Please check all of the pictures as the pen being sold is the one in the picture and ready to post.

About the Pen Body
I make my wood and resin pen blanks by first mixing clear resin with a coloured dye to obtain the colours I want. After about three or four hours it is now ready to be poured into a mould. The reason for leaving the mixture to thicken is that, if there is one or more colours and they were poured straight away, the colours would mix into one colour.
By leaving them to thicken it keeps the different coloured resins separate when they are poured. Although there is no guarantee that this will happen as expected. Before the mixture is poured the pieces of timber are placed into the mould and then the resin poured over them. A cover is placed on the mould to stop that wood pieces floating to the surface.
After about a week the resin has cured and can be released from the mould. The block can then be cut to size and is ready to turn on the lathe.
