Osage Orange Ballpoint Pen- About The Timber
Osage Orange heartwood is golden to bright yellow, which ages to a darker medium brown with time. The grain is straight, with a fine to medium texture. It is extremely durable and is considered to be one of the most decay resistant woods in North America.
Working with Osage Orange can be difficult due to its hardness and density. It turns well, and also takes stains, glues and finishes well.
It is mostly used for fence posts, archery bows, musical instruments, turning, and other small specialty wood items.
General Details
Every pen is unique each being made using sustainable, reclaimed, recycled timber or resin and fitted with top quality components. Once turned and sanded, to give the best possible protection it has numerous coats of finish and then a polish. To protect you pen it comes in a velvet sleeve, unless otherwise stated, full instructions on the care of the pen and a certificate of authenticity, confirming that I personally turned the pen and the date it was constructed.
This pen body is made from timber which, being a natural material, makes each piece unique in colour and figuring, and will slightly change colour and darken in time. The pen may be smooth to the touch or you may be able to feel the grain, blemishes and faults in the wood under the finish. Pens that are really smooth, with no blemishes are made of plastic!
