Spalted Beech Fountain Pen
This superb fountain pen is constructed from a recycled piece of Spalted Beech with Rose Gold Plated Fittings. The pen is “pillared” so that the cap can be screwed on the back of the pen to extend it for anyone who likes to use a longer pen. The nib has an iridium point.
It comes complete with ink cartridges, a converter so that bottled ink can be used and in a velvet pouch for protection (or black velvet pen box with white and blue interior for an extra charge).
Please be sure to check all of the pictures as this is the pen you are buying and it is ready to post.

About This Timber Pen
All of my wooden pens are made from recycled, repurposed or sustainable timber. Further information regarding the type of wood this pen is made from will be contained in the information sheet. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Any wood species, that is not listed as being recycled or repurposed comes from sustainable stock and is not listed in the CITES Appendices or on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
The majority of people have never heard of spalted timber, but many woods can spalt with Beech, Oak and Elm probably being the most common. Spalting is a term used to describe the process by which certain decay or fungi grow usually on dead or fallen trees and after colonizing the wood via travelling up the wood cells from the ends or from broken off branches, leaving an attractive pattern. It is sought after by woodworkers for the infinite number of patterns and colour variations that it can produce from subtle colour changes.
