SWEET CHESTNUT FOUNTAIN PEN
This superb fountain pen is constructed from a lovely piece of Sweet Chestnut timber with Gun Metal 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.
Sweet Chestnut, sometimes known as Spanish Chestnut and European Chestnut, is a hardwood that very closely resembles Oak and has been sometimes referred to as being “Poor Man’s Oak”, although when it is dry it has a creamier colour. It has many of the characteristics of Oak with a straight grain and strength.
The grain pattern is actually a real feature, it is open, fairly coarse, making it ideal for wide expanses on tables or worktops. It also has a fairly dense grain and with a good Tannin content it has inherent durability, great for outdoor tables then!
