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.

One of the most breathtaking woods, in a pen that is of the same caliper.

You may be asking why this prestigious pen is priced much differently than my other listed Cocobolo pens: the slimline style, brushed satin hardware is much less expensive than my other hardware kits. The major expense? Just the high value ascribed to the wood due to its rarity. Ie., the wood is the same exact species, cut and turned from the exact same wood. Simply a smaller, more economical pen to produce. That’s all there is to it!

Note: Cocobolo is a true rosewood and cannot be shipped outside the US.

Pen comes with velvet sleeve & refill cartridge of your choice in color.
