YEW FOUNTAIN PEN
This Fountain Pen is constructed from a recycled English Yew with Black and 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 and is nicely balanced.
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.

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.
Despite how hard and dense Yew it is a softwood (“hardwood” and “softwood” does not refer to the texture but the type of tree). It has a good straight grain and a yellowish colour. Yew is one of the oldest living trees and are often found in Churchyards, where is a number of cases are older than the actual church itself. It is thought that they can live to 3000 years old although those over 1500 years are more common. It was the main timber used for Longbows during the Middle Ages. It has also been used for fine furniture and cabinet making, particularly as a veneer.
According to popular belief, it was beneath a Yew tree, aged over 2500 years old, at Runnymead called the Ankerwycke, that King Henry VIII courted Anne Boleyn and in some versions of the story he might have proposed to her under this tree.
