Brazilian Mahogany Rollerball Pen
This superb rollerball pen is constructed from a recycled piece of Brazilian Mahogany with 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.
It comes complete 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 my Timber Pens
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.
Mahogany has a straight, fine, and even grain, and is relatively free of voids and pockets. Its reddish-brown colour darkens over time and displays a reddish sheen when polished. It has excellent workability and is very durable. Historically, the tree’s girth allowed for wide boards from traditional mahogany species. These properties make it a favourable wood for crafting cabinets and furniture.
Mahogany is still widely used for fine furniture; however, the rarity of various types of mahogany, the over-harvesting of Honduras and Brazilian mahogany, and the protests by indigenous peoples and environmental organizations from the 1980s into the 2000s, have diminished their use.
This particular piece was originally bought, by myself, to make a clock with, in the 1970s, but the clock was never made and has been stored in my shed ever since.
