LOVELY BLACK CHERRY FOUNTAIN PEN
This is a lovely fountain pen in Black Cherry with Gold and Black Plated fittings. The nib has an iridium point, and the pen comes in a black velveteen pouch (or the chance to have a black velvet pen box as an added extra), ink cartridges and an ink pump.
I would suggest that using the ink pump with bottles ink. It is the most economical and although the ink cartridges supplied are international standard size some of the economy ones for sale online are thicker and will not fit easily. Those I have suppled I buy at a local stationer (W H Smith (now T G Jones)) in the UK and would recommend doing the same if you are able.
Please make sure that you inspect all of the pictures as this is the pen that is for sale and the one you will receive.

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.
Black Cherry (Also Known as American Cherry, Cabinet Cherry and Rum Cherry) has a heartwood that is a light pinkish brown when freshly cut, darkening to a medium reddish brown with time and upon exposure to light. The grain is usually straight and easy to work—with the exception of figured pieces with curly grain patterns.
Cherry is known as being one of the best all-around woods for workability. It is stable, straight-grained, and machines well. It is mostly used for cabinet making, fine furniture, flooring, interior millwork, veneer, turned objects, and small specialty wood items.
