PANGA PANGA FOUNTAIN PEN
This Fountain Pen is constructed from a repurposed piece of Panga Panga with Chrome 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 the pictures as this is the pen you are buying, and it is ready to post.

This pen can be converted to a Rollerball Pen at no extra charge – just email me to say you want to change

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.
Panga Panga is from East and South-East Africa (Congo, Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zimbabwe). This species is sometimes confused with its cousin Wenge which is very similar in appearance but grows in West and Central Africa.
This species is a deep, dark chocolate brown with alternating depths of colour and whitish/yellowish tissue which has the effect of stripes and swirls. This tissue sometimes appears light spots on the timber. This species looks superb when laid as a parquet wood block floor, with the bold wavy-stripe appearance giving an added dimension and interest. It also works well as a striking border to a paler colour parquet block, such as sycamore or maple.
A hard wood, stable and heavy, so as a consequence it has exceptionally good ‘resistance to wear’ properties. It glues satisfactorily and will take a polish well, with a very faint scent when sanded. A dense timber, which feels cool and hard to the touch with a smooth feel to it sometimes with dinks that can be felt through the finish. This is an unusual species of great interest and quality.
