Extraordinarily time consuming, not to just craft with expertise & precision, but to log and mill entirely myself, cherry burl is a domestic wood that is usually considered to be in the same class as mahogany for usage in the United States (source: Bell Forest Products). It is a wood for fine furniture & luxury items. The stiff & strong wood has complex interwoven grain with incredible blue streaks to birdseye-like speckles. Black cherry is also prized for being “photoreactive” —in other words—it darkens with exposure to light. This the reason cherry is known for its dark reddish hue with age.

It’s finished with my proprietary friction polish which is primarily composed of dewaxed shellac. After, it was polished with Bowling Alley paste wax for a feel and shine second to none.

This Gaboon Ebony ballpoint pen is handcrafted from one of the most prized pieces of timber on our planet. Accordingly, many Ebony pieces have prominent streaks of brown which distract from the best quality Ebony which has a near total lack of color. simply black. This is one of those nearly ‘hue-less’ pieces you’ll ever come across.

More information: Gaboon Ebony is an exotic wood native to Western Africa. It is an extremely hard, dense, and heavy wood, with a very fine texture. The sapwood is pink to pale red-brown in color, while the heartwood is a uniform jet-black or black-brown streaked. Gaboon Ebony is perhaps the most sought-after exotic wood in the world, as it is the traditional fingerboard “wood of choice” for orchestral stringed instruments (violins, violas, cellos, etc.) along with high-end piano keys and chess sets. Ebony is rare, and in high demand. Accordingly, legislation prohibits shipment outside the continental United States due to CITES II legislation.

The pen:

The Rhodium finish & streamlined style allows for an elegant pen that feels, writes & has that jaw dropping appeal.

* I include replacement ink cartridges in the color of your choosing—blue or black ink, medium or fine point

Size: ~1/2” breadth x 5-1/2” in length
